As I haven't run IE7 todayor even recently I think, with what I can glean from Sysinternals site (Good one isn't it) these are not malicious settings, so I still have the problem, not that its going to stop me surfing 'cos I've got Firefox now & I quite like it. But that Sony is bugging me some waht, you know what I mean.

Anyway Ragzeeboy thanks very much for helping out, at least I'm aware of Sony's dirty tricks & a new site for software (Sysinternals).

Thanks again have nice weekend
