I'm getting doubles

[ralf]

Hi guys.
If I right click on any icon on the desktop, a box pops up with redundant
words.
Example:

Open
Run as...
Scan with Norton Antivirus
Winzip
Open with...
Scan with Norton Antivirus
Winzip
Send to
Cut
Copy
Create shortcut
Delete
Rename
Properties


Why am I getting Scan with NAV and Winzip listed twice ?
Thanks

Sounds like user profile damage or corruption.

Generally not worth the bother. It's much easier to abandon it.

What happens if you logon as a new user? (create a new account in 'User
Accounts').

If the profile is corrupt, you can rename the profile (while logged on as
local admin), then when the user logs on again a new profile will be created
from the image in \default user. You can then copy over the items you need
from the renamed profile. Copy the folder contents not the folders
themselves. When your sure you have all you need, you can delete the renamed
profile(s). Use the import function of your e-mail software.
