WHY is knowing just enough to be dangerous, SO DANGED
dangerous?!???
That "fixed" it: I don't use magnifier, but I did at
one point set the Admin desktop to a disctinctive, even
garish and eclectic theme I found available; so I could
easily tell at a glance from a distance that said
account was onscreen. We do Foster Care for teens, so,
well, you can tell why <g>.
   It got really confusing when I went to IE Tools,
I'net Options, and it refused me access! Jumped into
the Admin account and all was fine, of course. Now if
my eyes will only recover from that screen! <G>

   Seriously, thank you very much. I am disabled, plus
a serious brain concussion victim which resulted in
memory-retrieval problems, and help such as these
groups provide is invaluable to me. Email and the
internet are my only solid and semi-reliable contact
with the outside world anymore, so you can see why I
appreciate you and the others like you who spend your
time and efforts here. I used to work with
AllExperts.com until About .com bought them out and I
didn't like the changes so I left. Then not too long
after that came the brain concussion so those days are
over for me now. I still do my darndest to give back
some of the good life has given me though: It's a good
feeling, I know, even when it seems thankless.
