Hi Bill,


I think Microsoft's anti spy program has a tool to clean various things
like that from the registry.  You'll have to download it and install.
It's free, available from the MS site.
Ive been trying it myself just recently (after some problems) but have
to reinstall it.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
