Re: domain removal

Hi Nepatsfan-I didn't misunderstand you, although I very often do things with
the PC I should not since I usually have little idea of what I'm doing. But
fiddling with various features is what is fun for me. I bought the XP disc,
& joined this group to help protect me from me. And it's all a great
learning process.
I had removed those entries from the registry prior to reading from
you, but I had exported the registry xpriorn and then, later, imported.
All is fine now. Be patient with those like me, my friend.

Thanks-Alan
