Hi Carey,
Your link got worms! I'll tell you how I found out:
Carey link really appears correct. But click on it - not working.
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
I paste a good one from my Favorites: (They look identical)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Copy your link & Paste to Browser - the worms show-up
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.co-m/xp_tweaks.htm (error: extra <-> in 'co-m')
Another way of detection: Click at far blank-end of your above link but the mouse
cursor goes as close to it. Now, press Space bar key - it make one step underlined.
Try my good link.
Once in a while - all of us - must also clean our own machine - those intruders chose
no one. I cannot believe it - no one ever reported this before?
Regards,
<Rino>

Thank You!
Hey Kelly, while you're here I must ask you - how I could take out or delete a pop up
Windows alert message - it always come up upon booting up:
Top movie installation error
Top movie require the Microsoft Virtual Machine
Download it from http://www.microsoft.com/java/vm/dl_vm40.htm
This alert or error message is many years old and still continued showing in my PC. I
already installed a latest version of Java from Sun M. Is there a way I could get rid of
it?
My Advance Thanks,
<<Rino>>

Most welcome. As for Top Movie.... would need to know more. What type of
program is this? I have never heard of it. If you are still using it,
check the options and/or their support forums. Good luck!
