Very well. But I hope PA Bear doesn't hear of this!

| Hi,
|
| I fixed the problem in an unusual way. At the Dos prompt,
| I went to the "Internet Explorer" location in "Program Files".
| I used "Zero" (V1.1) which I once downloaded from
| simtel.net's utilities. I think it may have been located in
| directory utilities. This program will remove the "body" of
| a file leaving just the directory entry. First, I saved
| "IEXPLORE.EXE" to another location incase I would
| ever need it (hope not), then I, "ZERO IEXPLORE.EXE".
| Problem solved!
