171093 2003-08-27 23:19:00 Hi,
i have the message come up on startup as follows.

deskup.exe
This application has failed to start because shortcuts.dll was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I clearly have deleted a programme and part was left behind. I do not need whatever programme it was and would like to know how to get rid of this annoying message please

171094 2003-08-27 23:34:00 It belongs to Iomega Zip drive software I think. Perhaps you need to re-install then uninstall the Iomega application as a first step? godfather (25)
171095 2003-08-28 00:47:00 This file does belong to Iomega Zip (and not needed!) as it only places an icon or two onto the desktop on startup/log-on. If re-installing then uninstalling fails then you may have to edit the registry. Archibald (180)
171096 2003-08-31 05:42:00 many thanks for that help, it looks like a reload of the origonal programme as I used the programmme jv16 Power Tools to delete from the registry and when I rebooted it was still there (first time that that has happened).
It is good to know what programme the problem related to as I had deleted several at about the same time
Many thanks to you both
