Oh, err, right, OK Bryan, if you insist... Google was no help, BTW. Not even with an Advanced Search. I shall have to rethink the project.

It's amazing with all the talk of viruses and doom and gloom, that you can't even find one when you need one.

I'm really trying, Bryan. I click on everything/anything offered. I have this STRONG feeling that viruses have gone out of vogue. Just not the 'in' thing anymore? I guess you wouldn't settle for a bunch of super nasty scummy/mally stuff would you?

LOL, thanks for starting my day with a good laugh ... Anyway, keep up the good work, I'm sure you'll be infected before you know it.

BTW, Toopay, start a New Thread in the operating systems forums so someone can help you.

hmm yall i like firefox. In IE went to one site and mcafee said virus detected and cleaned and the same sight in firefox didnt get the virus. wierd. also why u thing new.net and gator and stuff are targeted at ie. all of their toolbars are only for ie. instead firefox use a special toolbar where you can add search engines to it instead of it being a 3rd party app for every little browser helper. my favorite is the dictionary.com link for the toolbar.

If your running WinXP Home "gpedit.msc" is not available...it's an WinXP Pro thing.
