What software does that? Is it only Microsoft software? Or is that built into WinXP? Sometimes I think the people at Microsoft are just irretrievably stupid. They constantly add features that few people need, but implement them in a way that intrudes on everyone (so that no one will miss that the feature is there), and then take away or fail to promote unobtrusive features that could help a lot of people. They are completely out of touch with their user base, in my opinion. -- David W.
