Hi John --

>>For a while, it worked. I suspect an upgrade to the Chat control will do the trick..... hopefully.<<

If that's the worst of it, you're lucky. It *really* louses up Explorer in NT4. Causes horrendous time-outs at the most inconvenient times. I only installed it because it reputedly fixed the icon cache problem. And I'll say that it seems to have helped there. But I'll live with corrupted icons *anyday* compared to what I'm putting up with now!

>>As for uninstalling - the only reliable thing I have found that works is a complete re-format and install - which is a total pain.<<

Absolutely.

Later... Karl
