Arch0 no problem, I'm just offering my own opinion as well..... Many times with win98se I've seen this problem and doing your shortcut doesn't always work....Sometimes going the long way, you have to do it a couple of times or be very carefull and extrememly thorough or it doesn't work or just corrupts again in a short while.... personally I'm not to keen on shortcuts as they are usually used when in a rush and that is when they usually don't work causing more time to be taken.
You said in your experience all the extra wasn't needed, so I just let him know in my experience alot of times it was...
Many thanks to those who posted. The long and short is that after reinstalling IE6, the bugger went back to it's old trix, i.e. "Page cannot be displayed, etc." and forced me to reformat.
Believe it or not, I have learned a LOT of stuff from this problem; how to truly uninstall all networking components; how to recover from a failed IE6 install; how I could have made more $ per hour working at Hardee's than this and last, but not least, there are a lot of very helpful heads in this area of the cybergalaxy and in time I might be able to make a contribution. CU Around! ;)
