Hi, I haven't looked at Default Programmes myself, so may check this out. Glad you found it though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douglas Harrison" <harrison1d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks Chris. I've found it again - I went to Default Programs in Control Panel, then Programs and Featurese, and there it was! I had been trying Programs and Features in the
Control Panel itself.

The fact that the items in the Control panel differr for the various flavours of Vista is an
added complication.
