Did what you suggested -- nothing in PSP 9 or registry.

Judith,
Open up Paint Shop Pro and go through all of the
Options/Settings/Preferences to see if anything in there points
to this
folder (or to either of those two alphanumeric strings). The
folder may be
locked by the program that created it, provided some part of
that program is
running all the time (and you most likely would not find it
showing in the
Notification Area (near the system clock)). If you find
something, report
back so we can do a little research on it.
If you don't find anything like that, those two strings of
numbers &
letters are registry codes (Class ID's) for something attached
(or formerly
attached) to your system. Open up the Registry editor (Start >
Run > type
'regedit' (no quotes) > press Enter) and then go to Edit > Find
and type in
(or Copy/Paste in) the first of those two alphanumeric strings
and then
click on the Find button. If anything comes up (neither struck
a hit on my
own system), investigate the left pane branch (any folders
(they're actually
called keys) inside the one it finds) using only your arrow
keys. If you
get movement in the right pane instead (up & down arrow keys
select
different lines in the right pane), do an ALT + TAB to shift
attention to
the left pane and try again. Hopefully, you'll see something
with a program
name or the location of a file on your hard drive that can be
investigated
(go to the location, find the file and look at the Property
sheet > Version,
if available). Even if nothing is found, repeat the process for
the second
alphanumeric string.
If none of these ideas bears any fruit, we'll just be back
to where we
were before you posted. Oh, and sorry for all of the
parenthesis. Seems I
had a lot of clarifying to do in this one. lol
Peace,
GMan
