Drag & Drop files or URL attempts install misc.software Office, Roxio, Napster

When I left click drag a URL out of the address bar of Internet
Explorer into a Folder on my PC (e.g. a Favorites Folder)

I get a dialog saying Please insert the Roxio Easy Media Creator 7
Program CD to install the Napster client.

I did a Control Panel } Add Remove Programs } Roxio 7 } Repair but it
didn't make the symptoms go away.

When I Right Click } Drag } Copy a file from one folder to another I
get the same thing.

I can cancel out of the install attempt and the copy takes place.

Sometimes the install dialog has to do with Office 2003.

I am very low on disk space. 3.16 gig free on an 80Gig drive in a HP
ZD7000 notebook, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 1Gig Ram.

Avast AntiVirus (replaced Norton) seems to be working fine

Ran SpySweeper

Ran Scan Disk

Ran Registry Mechanic (double clicking the icon on the desktop to
launch it brought up one of the install dialogs, which I just
cancelled out of and then ran it.)

Running Disk Cleanup right now.
