Still no luck. Changed the option. Closed PS.

Open image in PS…get .05s.

Drag action onto image - get parser error. Drag action onto Photoshop Icon…it installs it but I have no clue how to get to it (I’m not a Photoshop pro or use it extensively to automate crap, etc.)

Why? I can run the same copy of Windows for a year+ before I feel like reformatting (feel being the keyword).

Spybot + CCleaner (every day on start) + Defraggler (basic on startup and actual defrag once a month) = PC running awesome for months and months.

Avast Anti-Virus for AV, ZoneAlarm for Firewall.

My OS = Winning  
MY hardware = used to be winning, needs an update which is in the works for 2012
