Re: Fun with ( ÿþ ) well sort of ?

Hey Spanner,

As alwaysthank you for your support.

I'm more inclined to think that your ÿþ is just some kind of corruption in either the registry or on the hard drive.
Did you happen to notice if it was located in the Run registry or the Startup?

If you go to the Options page, click on History and it may contain more information.
If all the information isn't displayed you can look at the history file itself.
If you look in the WinPatrol folder there's a text file called "history.txt".

You can open this file with notepad and look at the information on the line with ÿþ you should be able to see if there was a full path or actual file name and also an indication of which Startup entry Scotty found it in.

If you can send a copy of that line from your history.txt file it might help.
Might even post it here so everyone who has offered to help can see what's going on.

Thanks again,
Bill
