>>From the Category Filter window I have to click Add whcih takes me to the category list. I click on a category of the list and this ADDs it to my selected categories that I do not want to display. This to me is ADDing the categories to a no-display list. If there is another way to do it I would love to hear about it.

>You're doing it the right way. That is the way we use for most of the other options. As the number of items to select from may vary from such a list to thousands of entries, this is why we use it like that. I wouldn't want to have checkboxes and check for those you want to have.

Your absolutely right. I wouldn't want to have checkboxes and check for those you want to have. I would want checkboxes and check for those I don't want to have. I don't think the category list is going to grow into the thousands. If it does I really don't want to have to select from a list the ones I don't want because I guarantee you I will not want almost all of them.
