Thanks J.R. however... I've tried that in the past and while it insists the file will be moved upon restarting Windows - it is & it isn't. It shows the new location as C:\windows\TIF etc... but the C:\temp\TIF etc... is still there and cannot be deleted, file sharing error. On the newly reloaded drive everything is OK so far, then again I haven't even fired up the IE 4 that came w/the Win disk. I think another M$FT program is causing the problem, minor problem I know, just a Windows annoyance. I'll try loading IE 5.0 then 5.5 and see what happens this time. I'll do a search on whether it's better to uninstall 5.0 first or just overwrite it w/5.5
