Hmm. I misread your original posts, then. I thought we ended up both
checked for that. I don't appear to have all of that Registry key,
either...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int
ernet Settings
...Mine stops at "...Microsoft\".

I do know my HOSTS file is working, as I see "Action Cancelled" embedded
in pages where it never did appear before. R-Clkng it, Properties, shows
it to be Ad related.

But you are XP, right? Things could be different there.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
