The registry is as it should be.
I have reloaded the particular pieces of software (Acrobat
Reader & Windows media player) which were initialising
this annoying anomaly and it seems to have solved the
problem when opening these executables.
I have yet to find out if this will happen again opening a
different software program.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Dave
