Hi Douglas. No, I do not have the media option on the explorer bar dropdown menus under view. I do not know what functionality I might be missing out on, but its never arisen as a problem yet. I seem to recall that when you install Internet Explorer you are given certain items to select, though I cannot for the life of me recall whether media bar or intallation of Windows Media player, was one of them. (I do have Windows Media Player 9, but I hardly ever use it and think I have declined its invitation to be a default player when it does ask me. Very strange though that I have none of the options you mention.

Very puzzling to me though. > Ray > Ray, Surprising if you managed to avoid installing the Media BAR - I thought it was an integral part of IE6. Have you the Media item in the sub menu of your Explorer bar in the View Menu? If so what happens if you press Enter on it to Select it? I am usually taken to the media bar directly, or if not can get there by pressing f6 once or twice and in it I can tab to the Options button I mentioned. I think that Mel's problem may arise because even if the Media bar is not visible, unless it's use for playing media has been turned off, it will still interfere.
