Hey Guys,

Thanks a million! Yes, it was messenger spam and I am now no longer annoyed by it thanks to your help! I am not at all familiar with any administrative stuff in Windows, this is all new to me.

I need to go back to school

And yes Phishhead, I have no shame when it comes to things that annoy me....after all, I am woman! lol My husband can tell you how many pieces of plastic he's retrieved from the floor and just how many keyboards I've smashed when I can't "figger it out"

Thanks to your help here at techzonez, the amount of plastic and smashed keyboards has been significantly reduced!

Thanks all!
Sharon
