Open the Windows Explorer and verify that the C:\Program Files\"anyapp" exists.

Can you boot up into the Safe Mode (F8) ?
If you can, do you get the same reactions to "anyapp".exe?

Exactly the same in safe mode. Interesting that this computer is shared with my wife. you know how xp lets you both have your own home page, settings, bookmarks etc. Well on her side everything works. on my side i can only get firefox to open. IE7 and all applications do not open on my side but, will open on her side in IE7 or firefox ?????
