Thanks for responding. I finally got what I needed. I had emptied all my cookies rebooted - and of all things unloading all the layers of software that absolutely insist I need them and just slide their way into my autorun cycle. Fortunately, I have Tune-Up Utilities 2006 - one of my first Intenet software purchases. Found Stardock (Object Desktop) shorly thereafter and the rest is as you say history. Anyway RabidRobot advised me to try r-clicking and save-as instead of l-clicking for download and that did the trick. Have another question though that has stumped me for awhile. I can't seem to find any way to change the font size on the ActiveX DesktopX Edit Control. DesktopX seems to claim it can be changed, but so far only the default size (8 pt) works. [/size] And as you know 8 pt. is way too small in higher resolution modes. [size="1"] See what I mean by that small typeface. So that's about it for now. Let me know if you find out anything on font sizes for the ActiveX edit control. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again Corky.
