I have a strange problem, with certain files (for a very long time just .msi) when I double click I got:

Windows cannot find Erase.exe.

This program is needed for opening 'MSI file'.

Location of Erase.exe:
[input box]

I tried to just ignore it, but then after attemping to force windows to open up .php, .html, .js and some others to open with Notepad2 using the registry

.php/shell/open/command "C:\WINNT\Notepad2.exe" "%1"

and retain the cool icon. (Some strange glitch where it makes the icon tiny) all these files started saying it. I figured I'd rename Notepad2.exe to Erase.exe to see what happened. Well it found it, and I got this:

"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\using Spybot - Search && Destroy" not found. Would you like to create this file?"

Needless to say, I'm sort of upset...

Any help appreciated,
Tim

Ok, I just uninstalled Spy Bot and everything went back to normal. I must say my fav anti-spyware program seems to have gone down the tubes. :sad:
