If the leftovers were avast related, I'll suggest the following:There is a workaround to these graphical artefacts remnants of menus, etc. that you could give a try.Edit avast4.ini using Notepad [Common] section, add the following line to the section SunbeltKPFHack=2, save the file, you will be prompted by the avast! self-defence module if this is OK answer Yes. See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=37609.msg315764#msg315764Hi I am about to do this. Just a few questions. Where is the avast ini file that I am opening into notepad? Is it in Avast (the gui ) or in the program sub section found in the program file tree of Windows.? This might be obvious but I choose to error on the side of caution. Thanks for the hand,J23But, sorry, your problem could be not related to avast, as the leftovers are from the graphic equalizer.
This really has to be one of the worst default actions Microsoft has taken with OSes, hiding 'known' file types. All it does is confuse users and begs the question 'known to whom,' Microsoft, but not many users.
The problem it isn't just beta testers we are talking about but you average user the hide extensions of known file types has been a default setting in all OS versions going back to win98 and possibly longer and still causes confusion (even for this beta tester).
