Sorry for not replying sooner. Thanks for the link. Kinda strange in that, when I checked the registry, I couldn't find any of the referenced keys. I had run Ad-Aware and AVG anti-virus but it seemed to return. Maybe this time the updates were more effective. I'll check the registry again if it pops up again.

Thanks again.......Rich
