Roger,
You don't have anything at all to apologize to me about. Like I
mentioned previously, I only tossed that comment onto the bottom of that
reply as an afterthought and I my initial intent was to purely make you
laugh, not feel guilty. During a quick proof-read, I second guessed
including it but reasoned with myself that it was also about time for us to
request that everyone try to keep posts trimmed for the Digest members, so I
left it in. As for sending off an excited reply that proves one's sanity,
I've done it numerous times myself, so welcome to the club. heh heh
I ran Win2000 as my main system for years, so I understand all of the
references to Scanlog. It's just that MS decided that hiding these things
deeper within XP was a better idea for some strange reason. MS operating
systems might be becoming more user friendly for some, but they're becoming
a heck of a lot harder for those of us who need to peek under the hood once
in a while. And if you tend to live under that hood like some of us, well,
we're stuck between a couple of hard things we can't even identify because
it's gotten so dark under there. lol
Peace,
Gman
