I had no idea it was doing this either until your post. I got the same questions as you do. Why is it there? Why so much is allocated to it? Where can we change the settings for this questionable "feature"? I'm hoping someone will come along and answer both our questions. I'm really hoping for a place we can change the settings. I don't mind it being there so much if it is useful. I would like to know its purpose tho. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
