        I didn't know typing Home would take me to the homepage. :~ But then, I'm a user of The Other Browser™, so I fired up IE and typed Home and hit Enter. It takes me to the MSN search results page. Are you sure it should take you to the homepage? Cheers, Vikram.

              "cweb" looks too much like Cool Web Search (which is spyware). :~ But in IE, you can set it to automagically do a search if you type in a plain word in the address bar. Try turning that off (in the advanced options page). --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

                I strongly recommend following these steps[^]. Every time one of our salesmen has come in with a spyware infested laptop, this guide has worked for me. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
