W.D., Understand. Thanks for the links. I did look at all of then. Gotta say it will take me some time to fully comprehend/decode them. By choice, I am dealing with machines that now have 80-100 updates already in place. This research may take me the rest of the summer :) I'll get on it

Rick, Thank you. Points well taken; I did consider all these points prior to my decision and fully intend to keep IE fully patched (well up until WinUpd stops sharing updates for W2K!). My current ire with IE revolves around just a hand full of websites that just no longer print properly. I cou
