I cleaning a up a friends tower of all the junk that a will acculuate over time.

I came accross an odd thing.

When you R-click on a icon on the desktop the pop-up with the various choices will come up (delete, unzip, make shortcut...etc) and at the top there is
'Run with AGS window engine'

After many searches the only thing that comes close is you guys.
If this a rement of your product? (If not sorry to bother you)
How do I get rid of it?
There is no AGD,AGS or anything like that in the add/remove programs window.
He could have loaded it-can't remember.

Thank you for your time.

AGS is the engine we use to build our games. You can find AGS's site at http://www.bigbluecup.com . I do not believe what you are experiencing is due to Adventure Game Studio, though.

There was one version of AGS (2.4 I think it was) that added this to the context menu for EXE files. It annoyed everybody, so it was removed in the following version.

However, I think that KQ1VGA v1.0 was compiled with this version of AGS, so if you ran that version of the game it will have installed that context menu option.

To get rid of it, open Regedit, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell and you should find an AGS-related entry to delete. BE CAREFUL when editing the registry though, don't delete anything if you're not sure about it.
