Clint, I'm not sure if this in any way is related but as long as we are discussing Internet Options in IE I'll share this with the group. I'm primarily a Netscape user and awhile back I had a problem with Netscape not accessing pages. I called my isp and they had me solve it as follows:
Was told to shut all browsers, *and get off the internet*, and only then go to Internet Options, Delete Files button (but first check "delete all offline content" box), and then Delete Cookies ... those two buttons, Deleting history is optional. Anyway, that solved the Netscape problem. Reason I'm posting this here is that *maybe* more is accomplished with Internet Options when offline; if that's true, I have no idea why ...

Does IE even have cache files, or are they just called "temporary > internet files"? ... Sue ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
