Default Windows is so configurable!

sarcasmOne of the things that I love about Windows is how easy it is to
configure; even when you don't want to configure it!/sarcasm

Now to spend an hour trying to figure out how to undo what I didn't intend
to do. I tried the new MSN Hotmail beta. Help expanded the MSIE window to
full screen. Trying to grab the upper left corner to resize and I managed
to add the "Links" from "Favorites" to the toolbar. There is a way to delet
it from the toolbar, but I have to find it. Somewhere. Somehow. Somewhen.
Damned stupid Windows...

The problem is, when you did something unintentionally, you don't know what
you did, so you have to figure out how to undo it. In this case, it turns
out that I had to remove the checkmark next to the "Links" in the Toolbar
list. How the bloody hell I managed to check it while trying to grab the
corner of the MSIE window to resize the display will have to remain one of
those abominable Windows mysteries!

Norman:

Don't you just love the way "Windows" works?
As a last resort you always have SR. in "ME".
How can you beat that?

Harry.

P.S.: How about translating that 'foreign' language for me?

Nice work, Heirloom.
I've googled a lot lately, but apparently not enough.
If I could only make sense of it now.
Myself and Norman thank you.

Harry.

I don't think Norman thanks anyone. He's a misery.

Get back to you soon, Heirloom. Hard to type!

Thanks Joan!

Yeah, found old table and chair set it doesn't do my back in to sit at and
also can type with left hnd and right thumb so ismuch more bearable!

I still haven#t heard anything about the crash beyond hearsay - I'm taking
it on faith that the driver didn't do a runner. Most unusual. More than a
week later.

I wonder if the driver was some religious fanatic 'fan' of idiot-Sooooge
trying to kill me. Must see if they still have the death penalty in Ohio!
LOL! Reading this one, Sugien?

Cheers!

Shane:

I am deeply concerned, hearing about your misfortune for the first time. You
surely have my sympathies and best wishes for you to get well, soon. Why
these things mostly happen to good people, I shall never know.
Let them get the guy to pay for his miserable deed.
Cheers,

Harry.
