Hi,

It's ok. No need to apologize.

If photopaint is the only corel application you have installed, go to control panel > add/remove programs and uninstall this:

Corel Uninstaller

check to see if the program removes everything and if those associations are back to how they are before.

if they don't go back to how they're before, let me know and I'll give a make a fix for you.

Yes, AVG was working ok until they upgraded to version 8. It became more and more bloated like mcafee and norton. Sad to see it become like that. If you're looking to purchase, I would recommmend nod32, kaspersky, or antivir as I've stated in my previous post. They have better detections and are light in resources. Kaspersky is a bit heavier on resource but it's detections are #1. None of them "take over" systems just like what avg8 did so you need not worry about it.

Glad you liked autoruns. I guess that tool shows more info w/c helps understanding compared to msconfig.

*Open notepad.
Copy and paste the text inside the Code Box below into Notepad
Choose File > Save As and under "Save as type", choose "All Files".
Type export.bat in the File name and save it to your desktop.

Code:

@echo off
cd %systemdrive%\ 
If not exist check1 MkDir check1
regedit /e check1\1.txt "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm"
regedit /e check1\2.txt "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html"
regedit /e check1\3.txt "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile"
regedit /e check1\4.txt "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmfile"

Copy check1\*.txt = %systemdrive%\check1.txt 
rd /s /q check1
Notepad %systemdrive%\check1.txt

Locate export.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it. It will open Notepad with some text in it. Please post the text here.
