NOPE, did the same last time, but this time unchecked the DE something, and
just tried your "Goggles" link and now the link doesn't even 'tickle" the
task bar, even with Ctrl/click. sigh

I have XP Pro, SP2, all MS updates, and I once followed NG advice to

this problem, that only cropped up overnight, and it worked. Now its

not
open my IE.

I use AVG, Ad Aware, Zone Alarm, Spybot S&G, and my DSL has an internal
router in the modem, et al. Is one of these removing my settings? I've
also
just noticed that when I hit Forward on some email messages, or a FAX,
Outlook attempts to perform, and I use OE; additionally, my address book
is
gone from my fax, unless I click on my desktop MS Fax icon, and now a
directory opens, so if I click on Shortcut to MS Fax, then the Address
Book
is present when the fax window opens.

I've run Trend Micro and all reports are the same as I get from the
others...which I run twice a week...but AVG updates and runs daily. Never
anything found but Cookies, which I have deleted.

Thank you all.
