Thanks.

I don't have IE 6 on the server (we don't surf the web on it). I only
use IE 5 for Windows updates. I'm afaid eventually Microsoft may
require a newer version of IE just to get the updates. I only have
800 megs of free hard drive space, so I don't want to use more than I
have to. Not to mention there are constant updates for IE 6. There
server is used only for a special database program & sharing files &
that kind of stuff.
