Craig, I was able to retain all of my favorites as well as links. I realize some PC's are different and might very well have problems I didn't encounter. In spite of "some" labelling me as a "smart-ass", I was only trying to point out that with PC's it does pay to read all of those pop-up messages. I have certainly been guilty of ignoring too many of them myself in the past. No, I am not a computer guru but have a buddy who is. Unfortunately he is too busy fixing other peoples PC.'s so I don't get to see him very often and have to "muddle" my way through my own PC! The biggest problem I have had with Explorer 7 is that it "looks" different or "unfamiliar" so takes a little getting used to. I as have many others, have proceeded over the years up through Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 and now XP and as you all know, each one of those had a very different look also!................Enjoy Strikin' all.............Dick
