No need to thank me. It didn't work for me because my start menu hadn't
been configured out of the box with Favorites on it in that position, or
anywhere at all. But, thanks to good advice, I was able to put it among the
items on there just as if it had been there all along.
So, we're all having fun with this one. That's good.

I just executed this keystroke in outlook express and the favorites list
came up. Thanks Jerry, Judith
