Well that explains how I got it. We had some film developed at Rite
Aid, the drug store chain. They had a $5 rebate for getting a roll of
film developed. Rather than send it in there was an option to do it
online. My wife registered and that's when the problem started. Thanks
Rite Aid. 
With the help from the list I was able to find the location of the
registry entry, and manually delete it. I wasn't able to go to an
earlier restore point because I had disabled System Restore which
cleared the restore points. Even after manually deleting it, it wanted
to come back, so I downloaded Firefox, cleared it again, and hid the
icon for IE so it will not be used. What a colossal waste of time, but
it appears to be gone for good. Oh, and while all this was going on, I
get a message from Microsoft telling me I need to re-register windows
within 3 days because of hardware changes. Of course it wouldn't let me
do it online, so I had to call and spend some quality time speaking
with a computer. I wish I new more about Linux that people are talking
about, it may be time to learn.

Thanks again for all the help I appreciate it.

Mike
