Having read this discussion, I think there should be two options: "On for all pages, except" "Off for all pages, except" This would be easy to understand. For both there would be an exceptions-list, or a number of alternative lists. Thus you could have alternative selection of sites or pages within the sites and choose the selection you currently want. To implement these, a small off-line settings program could be written: The user can create the selections before beginning with the on-line tests. During the tests he could merely choose between the selections. Under Windows, these can easily be stored in the registry. If you want, I can let you have some "Read/save Combo-box contents" functions (VB6+API) or a small stand-alone program to create such selections.
