Hi all,

I have XP SP2 and a problem that I believe was caused by a virus from a memory stick. Symptoms:

1) Folder Options no longer appears in the Tools menu.
2) This error pop-up appears each time Windows is started:
Windows Script Host
There is no scrip engine for file extension .ini".
3) When viewing data on a memory stick new folders open in their own windows even though it set to same window andsometimes certain folders do not even open.
4) The Language Bar appears on the Taskbar each time Windows starts even though its toolbar option is unchecked in the Taskbar right click menu.

I have ran my virus software but the definitions are out of date and nothing has been picked up

Many thanks for any help
Rob
