I've complained about this before, but now I'd like to learn how I can submit an ER to Microsoft about this (or, even better, adopt some procedure that gives ME CONTROL)...

On downloading the VFP8 beta I started its Help and found the fonts a tad small. So I went to the "Font" icon on its ToolBar and clicked on it. [I expected to get a list that I could select a size from but instead the fonts just changed size] I let it stand at the font that showed after the single click on the icon.
LATER, using regular IE to visit FoxWiki, I found that it's fonts too, which I had been perfectly happy with previously, were now enlarged#@#!@@$!# The same was so for every other site I visited (except (thankfully?) UT < s >)! So I registered a note in my head to write this message as soon as I encountered a similar frustration relating to browsing.

Today I wanted to dig deeper into the details of the TreeView control because the Help offered when hitting F1 in VFP omits many things. So I clicked on my latest MSDN Library icon, that happens to be April 2002. SEARCHing on Treeview got me lots of .NET entries and try as I might I couldn't locate anything referencing thew older version(s) of it. So I homed in on the details I wanted, concerning "Nodes". I found something that was helpful and, as I was wont to do in other MSDN issues that I've used, I went to add it to "Favorites" so I could easily locate it again. To my great consternation clicking on the favorites icon in the left pane resulted in all my REGULAR IE favourites being listed@#!$@#!$ It was then that I remembered that I had made the same mental note mentioned above the last time I encountered this.

I am perfectly happy having different FAVORITES lists for different things that I use and which, by the way, was how MSDN used to operate for me. In fact I do NOT WANT a common list of favourites for EVERYTHING I do.

So I'd like to submit an ER to MS requesting that I optionally be able to:
1) Set fonts to various sizes for various pages/services and have them consistently show up with the font size I specified FOR THAT PAGE/SERVICE.
2) Give me some way to tell IE to start any instance on a specific page/site.
3) Give me some way to control the placement of various instances of IE on my desktop at least as relates to #2 above.
4) Give me some way to have independent favourites lists ESPECIALLY as relates to 'services' like MSDN Library and the like.
5) Give me some way to maintain the entries in the IE Address dropdown so that I can get rid of mis-typed crap, eliminate entries for defunct sites, reorder entries, etc.

Does anyone know where I can submit such an ER at MS?

Thanks
