Yeah...I added that to the manual...and just noted that they can no longer
use the customization due to a later security patch fix. No problem...and
thanks for confirming that it's the same in 2k.

Okay...Greg the wonder guy<g>...did some hunting and discovered the issue.
Turns out once you install an specific IE patch, it blows away the
customization ability. You can work around it by adding a value in the
Registry and then removing that value after you customize it...for security
reasons. 

That's all I needed to know...it's NOT worth it for this. So I'm ripping out
the (or rather modifying) the paragraph on customization. Guess I should at
least tell them it doesn't work!<sigh>
