It's true. That in my mind is one of the pluses of IE 5.1. I don't recall all of the extensions but those that start with Microsoft or MS are a start. Look through the Extensions folder and any you can't identify do Get Info on. I think they usually indicate M$ in origin if they are. Don't trash them though, put them in a folder. When you are done run any other M$ programs you have (if any) and see if they work okay. IE isn't the only thing that litters the Extension folder. The newer Office programs will automatically replace any missing files though. M$ finally figured out that those files don't have to be in the System Folder but could be with the application (wow, what a concept). They keep forgetting that the IE is a part of the OS is only a monopolistic ploy and doesn't apply to the Mac any ways. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
