Jan,

Regarding the registration tip for iexplore.... with the /rereg its not
working for me. (XP SP1). It opens an IE windows with an error msg
saying.... can't connect (same error msg with a non-existing site or a DNS
problem). I can connect to any other website.

I hope the /rereg switch will fix a download problem I have with IE6.0 SP1.
Can't download anything from IE6.0 unless I do a logoff/logon again. It's
annoying. Have to do it all the time. I've installed SP2, I've removed all
spyware, dont have any virus. Turned-off the anti-virus, But no luck.

What did I miss ?

TIA

Gillies
