    Bikkelbink, thx for your reply.

    Point is, Control Panel --> Computer Management still works fine.
    But desktop 'My Computer', right click 'Manage' no longer invokes
    Computer Mangement but reports the error below.
    Something is broken in the menu (or registery or dll?).
    I don't know what to check / fix.

    John
