I would try what Mangus suggested about the local policy to set IE as =
the default.. I would probably be a much cleaner fix to impliment... if =
it works :) There is undouptably a reg fix for the issue as well, but I =
couldnt tell you where/what it is. Sorry, Good luck, and have a good =
Holiday Season.

When I deselect the check box so that it doesn't check for itself as the
default anymore, it goes back to the original problem.  I don't have any
other browsers loaded on my TS so I shouldn't have anything interfering
(e.g., Netscape).  Any other ideas?  Sorry--I know I'm a pain today but =
I'm
off the rest of the week!  LOL  :)  Have a wonderful holiday everyone.
