Thanks for that great info nature - after Rte’s problems I am nervous about messing with anything over and above letting my spyware run and blocking pop-ups.

Have deleted cookies before - on my daughter’s computer - boy was she mad!!!!!!

I also need to condense my files - but have no idea how to do that. The price you pay when you have an IT guy at work. Should have adopted him!!!!!!
