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.co*m/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 "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote in message ...

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 "Kelly" wrote in message ...

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.
