How do I remove a program from the list of choices after
I right click on a photo in my pictures. For some reason
there is an exe. file there that does nothing but is
annoying. Uninstalling the program works but it
reappears after reinstall. Thanks- Paul

Re-installing what? Do you mean re-boot? It could be spyware... Get Ad-Aware, Spybot
or any anti-spyware application.

Reinstalling the prog. that is on the list. Uninstall of
prog makes it go away but reappears after reinstall. Not
spyware.
