Thanks Tom,

Found that and it didn't work. Am currently Windows updating this notebook to SP2, then will stuff in IE7 and hope that fixes it. There is a fault in its' IE6 in the www.argos.co.uk web site causes that browser to bomb-out ! ...even though that site is in Trusted Sites zone. I always use that site for testing, never seen it do that b4, so suspect damage to IE6 somewhere.

I know that you can just switch it on somewhere but, I can NEVER ever find
it ?

Right click on a blank area of the desktop and select Properties. This will open your display properties. Go to the Desktop tab and click Customize Desktop. On the general tab make sure Internet Explorer has a check next to it in the Desktop icons area. OK/Apply your changes.

Installing IE7 on top of a problematic IE6 might cause even more problems. Also there is a specific internet explorer newsgroup where IE questions should be posted.
