Okay, I am still trying to learn my way around XP home. Now what I can't get rid of is a login box when the system first comes up. It's not the login screen where you choose which user you are - that one I got rid of. But, a login box appears that already has "owner" in place of my ID. I can hit...
Thanks to both of you, problem solved. I actually used The Dark Lord's method because it was much quicker to get to, but I did make note of both methods and I really appreciate the advice.

You know, speaking of AVG, I downloaded that a couple of weeks ago and used it once and my computer just started doing the weirdest things. I can't remember exact examples now, but it acted so out of character that I finally uninstalled AVG and it went back to normal. IE worked after that for a...
I am using Firefox to get to this page, so yes I know it is a great alternative. But in order to scan my computer with trendmicro's free housecall scan and Panda's scan I have to be running IE. Also need to be running IE in order to have Microsoft check my pc for updates.
