Chuck2. Your suggestion requires a regedit in the run command. I don't have the run command to get into the registry. Any other ideas???
Non the less Thank you

Try C:\WINDOWS\system32 and open regedt32.exe there.

Yo Chuck 2
Your last post did it. Thank you for your help.
I guess I will have to bite the bullit and do a system restore. The only reason I did not want to resort to that is because I set up 3 new programs and I would have to reinstall them and spend a lot of time getting them to where I have them now.
Any way thanks again.

Harry- Have a new thought. I should have ask if Windows key + R would bring up the RUN command.
Also to say- some Windows Updates can cause other problems to happen in XP. For example: If I install the IE 6 Security Update Q832894, I then find that all the Help Topics were gone in Windows HELP Index. All came back when I removed "Internet Explorer Q832894" from Add/Remove Programs list.
