| 369796 | 2005-07-06 01:08:00 | When I click on a number of desktop and quicklaunch folders (icons) Money 2003 begins to load. When I then cancel the loading Money 2003 windows, the desired folder/program opens normally. Money attempts to load also when I push the special "My Computer" key on the keyboard. This loads up the drives folders. If Money 2003 is left to load, the full program is activated. Anyone any ideas as to how to stop this irksome problem? |

| 369800 | 2005-07-08 01:49:00 | Hi Johnboy The problem of the wrong folder/file opening when double clicking (MS Money tries to open) to open a specific file is back again. Is it possible to reset the default settings and work from there? Cheers Gary |

| 369801 | 2005-07-08 03:50:00 | Grab Tweakui from www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp (www.microsoft.com) it has a icon repair feature try that. When you say money tries to load when clicking a icon' Do you mean it tries to install itself again or just open . If it's trying to install it self grab this program . Which will remove the faulty installer for money. Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility support.microsoft.com hth |

| 369802 | 2005-07-08 04:18:00 | Hi Johnboy Thanks (I hope!). MS Money was trying to reinstall, so I tried for the second option and it appears to have worked. I have heard of Tweak UI from time to time. Is it a useful tool to have? Cheers Gary |
