Right ok ive now tried using HJT exactly as described but when i click "delete file on reboot" it pops up with a box to point towards the file like you said, however the option to select this icon is not there thus meaning i cannot delete it!?

Wierd I can point it to any icon on my desk? And you cannot change the properties of it to see if it is supposed to be read only or not..

Open the resulting .reg file with notepad and paste the results in a post???????

i exported and saved the file as "namespace" to my documents then didnt know what you meant by "the resulting .reg file?
