Thank you, Ann. Needless to say, it works. However, with IE as my default, naturally when I click a favorite, IE takes over. I won't make Chrome my default until various problems are solved. It would be nice to find Chrome "fully" accessible because it runs much better than the other browsers, but I'm not yet convinced. I hope David Moore can address bookmarks and other issues.

Cc: Ann Byrne Subject: Re: Chrome and bookmarks/favorites In windows 7, Favorites can be accessed by pressing Windows key, then tab, then enter, then 'f' or down arrowing to the favorites list. This should be independent of your browser. So if you just want one favorite, it might be faster to go that way.
