  Leonard, after going to Webshots and opening many windows at their site I saw several error messages that warned me of what I finally decided was ActiveX controls that IE was trying to protect me from. I don't need or want their protection. Would like to go ahead and install Active X. Will work on that next. "Leonard Grey" <l.grey@invalid.invalid> wrote in message...

  I use CUTE PDF. I can just say print page 1. Then say print page 2. Kind of cumbersome and annoying if you have many pages, though.

  I use properties to change the icon on one of my desktop icons. It appears to accept the change, but when I go back to my desktop, the original icon appears - it ignores my attempted change. This is on my up-to-date XP on my new Acer netbook. TIA, Paul (I've posted this on multiple groups, because my original post on xp.general did not get any replies, but has watchers. Please "reply group", not just yours,...
