Eriq,

Thanks for the advice. As I was not using any offline files on this system,
I did shut down the service without any benefit. I will never know what or
how I got there. I just hope it will not happen again. I did a fresh
re-install from scratch, so far it is OK (but a lot of work), and I had
Internet exporer crached twice already!
I suspect a faulty application, I had Apple iTunes, MS Live OneCare and many
Adobe programs. On Vista64, I suspect one of these application to go wild and
destroy something. Any comments are still appreciated.

Thanks, Francois.
