Conan...thanks. That site "My Webpages" was cool! I bookmarked it and plan to read 90% of it. I disabled the indexing service.

Curio: my thanks to you too for your input. I looked at Disk Action but apparently it is only for 98 and ME. I didn't see one for XP. I'd be interested in your impressions of Vista if you've had it long enough to form opinions..
