>>Many thanks for the URL, I'll be sure to check it out. I did take the diagnostics out of the system tray. Bad idea?

>Not at all - you can access all the configuration options from the Control Panel applet in any case. if you're like me, I have far too many things in the tray already - scheduler, 3com, a couple of display thingies, volume, Quicktray, GetRight, NewsAlert, the keyboard enhancer for the Logitech keyboard, WaveTop, WebTV and Dilbert Desktop Games are a permanent fixture, with Outlook and MS Money leaving things there when they need attention, too. Thank god for small icons and large monitors!

I must confess a weakness for rather Spartan system configurations. Only the volume control and the date/time. No wallpaper, a simple screen saver. Gotta conserve those resources.:-) Yeah right. A PII 350 with 128Mb and a 13 Gb hard drive, and I'm conserving resources. I attribute it to starting my computing experience on a 16K Atari 400 (you had to hunch over to program:-)).
