hi geek girl, it really doesnt matter to me and ill tell you why... i have spent over 15 hrs on the phone with people in india to solve a small issue. 15 hrs later my problem has not been resolved, but not for my lack of trying. They used me to rename files and reinstall using cab files. they never asked me if win 95 was going to be the default cab files. 4 reinstalls later they told me i would have to do a clean boot install. when i told them i would need help they referred me to the "tech team" they basically were there to scare and convince me that it was a big deal and very messy and i might think about just getting a new computer.

i started reading on my own and changed registries. (the only one (started in there) and then did a over the top install of win98se. it is skipping along nicely now thank you, but i still have this nasty ie explorer issue.

could you kindly go down and read my post and offer me some assistance? i am at the point now where i would like to purge my registry of every internet explorer reference and reinstall a new copy of ie6. How can i do this? Any help would be appreciated.
