Hi Cor,

Thanks, but just on problem:

Now C# only underlines: axWebBrowser1 with the color blue.

When I build it the error output says:

Error 1 'WEB.Preferences' does not contain a definition for 'axWebBrowser1'
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Web Browser\Preferences.cs.

We're getting closer :)

Thanks,

Matt
