CJ ! Thankyou!!! My C:\Drive is going so fast :-). I even went so far as to use IEradicator
and get rid of all the IE's plastered one on top of the other. I lost a few DLL files,
but replaced them and then did a full scan of directory, disk, surface in DOS, then
in windows itself. All is going fast as lightening. I can't believe it. I cleaned
up 57mb with your tips alone. Now IE6 loads web pages so fast the graphics can't
keep up.
Thankyou again!
