Yes, the other two computers have exactly the same anti-virus and
anti-spyware applications running on them. One of them runs XP, but the
other runs the very same version of 2K. Also all three machines are located
in my house and all share the same internet connection by the same ISP.
That's what puzzles me so. I really think I must a changed some setting by
accident, but I cannot imagine what it might be.

Do you have /exactly/ the same anti-virus, firewall and anti-spyware apps on
all 3 machines? Are all 3 machines located at the same place and use the
same internet connect and ISP?

Reinstalling Windows, etc. would be far more annoying than the Yahoo

a
password before you can read your mail. In the "options/preferences" part
of Yahoo, I've always had this set to "daily" so that I'd have to go
through
this extra step only once in a 24-hour period. In the last few days,
though, I find myself having to login each time I go to check my mail.
This happens only with my IBM desktop running Windows 2K. My other two
laptop computers do not do this when I go to access my mail, and one of
those is also running Windows 2K. I've looked for changes in settings,
etc. but so far I've found nothing. When I wrote to the Yahoo support
people, they told me my browser was corrupted and I should reinstall it.
Any ideas??

So far as I know, the only way to uninstall and reinstall IE6 and clear
its settings is to reinstall Windows and then reinstall IE6 and all of
the updates to everything. That's a pretty big step and should be a last
resort. What is the nature of the problem you're having?

settings
from my previous installation (or whatever else is causing my problem)
are still present. How do I completely remove IE 6.0 from my computer
so
I can install a truly fresh copy?
I'm running Windows 2K Professional as my OS. I've looked at Remove
Programs in the Control Panel, but I don't see IE 6 listed. I tried to
remove it as a Windows component, but that made no difference either.
Can
anyone help??
