This is a well-known and well-documented behavior that afflicts IE and Entourage. It doesn't happen every time and it doesn't affect everyone, though, and those people should be thankful they're so lucky. When I moved, I changed my AutoFill profile in IE, but it would always keep switching back to my old profile upon subsequent use. It also affects cookies, site passwords, pretty much every preference in IE. It's very annoying and I wish Microsoft would fix it somehow because Safari isn't good enough yet to replace IE for me. Ironically, the main problem I have with it is it doesn't have enough preferences... -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
