Thanks for the heads-up.
I'll avoid this update like the plague.

Sorry I was just pulling your leg a wee bit. :)
Honestly though if it's a desktop and you can swing it buy a small hard drive, a 40GB drive can be had for nearly chicken feed these days. Use that for your OS and use your original drive for personal data and ghost backups.
Just a suggestion. Sorry for busting your chops earlier ;)

Now, it opens, but in a little separate window that I have to click on to enlarge. It ain't a big deal, but it is my computer, and I preferred it the way it was. 1. Close all windows, now open one window in IE
2. Click the enlarge icon in upper right
3. Hold Shift key down and close the window (click red x)
4. Open a new IE window again. Should be fixed.
If that didn't fix it:
1. Close all windows
2. Open IE window
3. Drag the edges to fill the screen
4. Hold Shift key down and click on red x to close window
5. Open a new IE window, should be fixed.

Upthread, someone made a suggestion involving a piece of nasty, half-eaten fruit. Assuming that you don't want to take out a second mortgage to pay for new hardware...
Slackware
...or you can take a little test drive here or here.

You're welcome.
It's a "feature" (read "bug") of IE and it's called "browser amnesia"
It may happen again someday so save the instructions just in case. ;-)

Everytime I figure it out, it changes. If I had any money left I would go back to chasing younger women, and faster horses, but, I don't! All you youngins should be grateful!
Help me stay on line, and the major competion in your quest for the young, lovely ladies is diverted, and distracted, otherwise, you wee ones ain't even in the game!
