It has to be a registry entry. I have no idea which one.
It seems like my information lessened for my wife's
computer on my home network after a critical update
install. I remember that I restored my computer to an
earlier date and got the available information back to
the previous level. But with the SP2 install the
information was gone again, and possibly even before that.
