   Try "Find: All Files" in Windows Explorer. Use "Containing Text" on the   
   "Advanced" tab and enter 'graphicsv1.exe'.  You should be able to find   
   references to any files that contain that command.  The search may bring up   
   some executables that contain those words but I don't think you are able to   
   modify them unless you have some sort of decompiler program, but that is   
   beyond the limit of my knowledge.

   Thanks Philo-- that was a great idea, but unfortunately none of the "bat"   
   files execute at startup and none seem to contain any reference to this   
   elusive program... Any other ideas? This is driving me nuts...
