Rick,

        You are awesome!! Do you think you could talk MS into posting this
fix in their Support database?

        Curiosity and quest for MS knowledge leads me to ask, why/how does
this happen?

        In my 15 years owning PCs with MS O/S's, I've probably made less
than 5 posts to Help Newsgroups and every time a MVP has responded and
solved my problem. Thank you and all other MVPs who take the time to help.
Your help and support is invaluable!

Debbie
