Thanks
Downloaded it and installed it. I will have to go through the all the shell extensions and do a bit of a purge of those that are obvious candidates.

[ 200Kb image - any smaller it was not readable. Hope that's OK David ] To export the info (in several usable forms), you need to register the utility (a small fee). It is a very useful tool, for both hardware and software diagnostics. Worth a try with the free ("home") version, anyway. _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia _____ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Peter Maddin Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 6:06 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: OT: windows environment variables not working Thanks for the link to ShellExView. I found lots of links to Internet explorer add ons but not windows explorer add ons For windows explorer there is no Tools > Internet Options > Programs > Manage Add-ons > Toolbars and Extensions Unless my visual acuity has declined even further since the last time I looked ( a definite possibility) Possibly this covers both !? I have just checked Internet Explorer and most add-ons are disabled except those I would like to keep, i.e. Shockwave flash, RMGetLIcense, Silverlight and Java. How does one find out what add-ons are windows explorer specific?
