Ok, i ran RegEdit and found "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\" and a dozen or so "shell\"
thingies like Application1 and Explorer, but no "CuteFTP". Any other
guesses where this sucker's hiding? It shows up in the
rightclick-on-a-desktop-icon menu - where is that maintained?

Funny how ever since i met the o/s on an IBM 7094 in 1967, the designers
have this need to tuck controls away in odd secret corners with magic words
and hold-ur-tongue-right and press the third brick in the ninth row and
open sesame... instead of putting things where they are by and large
self-documenting and apparent and useable and forgiving. Plus ca change,
plus ca meme chose...
<\end rant>

Thanks for any help, i appreciate it. BTW if ne1 has questions about
realtime game physics, i can prolly help. Physics, i know.
