Hi,
I use Windows XP. Under the Start Menu, there is a list of programs that I have used recently. All of the entries in the list are expected, given my usage of the corresponding programs... except for dosbox.conf. I haven't used DOSBox in ages. Furthermore, everytime I delete dosbox.conf from the list of recently used programs, it's only a matter of time before it pops up on the list again. I'm not 100% sure, but I think there have been times when dosbox.conf returned to the recent programs list even before I shut down my computer.
I tried uninstalling DOSBox, but dosbox.conf still shows up uninvited. Of course, now it is a broken link because the file does not exist. So my question is: What program/setting in Windows XP keeps calling dosbox.conf, even after uninstalling DOSBox. When I pause over the dosbox.conf link with my mouse, the description that pops up is "C:\WINDOWS\system32". So, I assume that Windows calls the file in the background. This seems to happen around startup, perhaps when I open Windows Explorer for the first time. Also, whenever I play ZDoom, dosbox.conf seems to return as well.
Any help is much appreciated. The broken dosbox.conf link is taking up precious real estate in my recenlty used programs list. :-)
Thanks,
Mike
