Thanks, Hank for your previous help. I've got another problem today - The new shortcut icon I created for NotePad and two other shortcut icons have disappeared from my task bar. I rebooted but that didn't bring them back. I know I can create new shortcut icons for those programs to add back to my task bar, but as I've never had icons disappear before, I am wondering why now? Seems suspicious that they disappeared after this problem with Notepad & actmovie.exe yesterday. Any ideas on what may be wrong would be appreciated.
