OH! OK, that makes total sense now. No wonder I'm sometimes not able to download certain files and other problems I've had. I've looked through Temporary Files before (the directory name is OH SO LONG, and you know it already!), and somehow I managed never to figure that out <shrug>. Anyway, I'm now excited as well about the possibility of upgrading the KeySoft System Disk, and it's something I'll definitely be wanting to do when it becomes available, which I hope is soon. I'll keep the suggestion in mind of going through and deleting manually. I've never had to do a hard reset or anything, but I'll be avoiding that situation any way I can. Maria
