Elizabeth, Do you think you could navigate the registry if I asked you to?
I want you to check something for me. Go to START RUN type regedit in regedit I want you to go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ URL\ Prefixes Yes it is buried deep. Can you type the NAME, TYPE, and DATA fields listed in there? Usually isn't more then 5 different lines. Thanks!
