Sharon Dulcich Sharon, you should have someone show you the basics of using your PC and how to get on the "Web" First of all the Run selection is for using internal Windows programs which you should not be concerned with yet. Secondly to open a browser you normally double click the big blue "E" on your desktop that says nternet Explorer under it. Finally once the browser does open you can type in http://www.whatever and hit go and join the rest of the "Surfers" Good Luck Randy, your understanding of the Run selection is incomplete. What Sharon describes should work fine, launching the default web browser and going to the specified web page. I recommend running a test to make sure that you're right before posting a reply in the news group telling someone else that he/she is wrong. Sharon, you understand correctly. In fact, you don't even need to type "http://". A Run entry starting with "www." should bring up the default web browser. Try it with just that. I don't know how to fix the "http://" problem, but if you'll post your message in an Internet Explorer news group, I'm sure that someone there will have the answer for you. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
