icon cache crash and wallpaper crawl

when i exit my allegro apps, windoze (2000) feels a sudden urge to rebuild the friggin icon cache every time. and if i'm lucky, my wallpaper will crawl about 10-20 pixel up and left every time. (so when i have run my app 20 times, the wallpaper is almost off-screen)

spying on my app with filemon reveals: (i have no code that does this in my proggie...):-/

12:16:23 PM water.exe:1104 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\WINNT\ACD Wallpaper.bmp SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open <---- IT MESSES WITH THE WALLPAPER and btw it also accesses win.ini..what for!!?

and why does it load dsound.dll when i have no sound routines what so ever???

12:13:13 PM STARMA~1.SCR:1208 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\WINNT\System32\dsound.dll SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open

hm.. btw the .scr file does NOT mess with the wallpaper (made w/ the plugin avail in depot)

any ideas anyone?

tnx in advance, this is getting annoying::)

for dsound it's like that allegro uses everything unless you tell to change

just see the doc in the "optimisation"(is it that?) part they tell you wich defines to use to override some functions (sound ...)
