That was just my first glance while trying to help someone set up newsgroups from outlook :o) I wish the start menu would work the same way, in such case (create a standard for those chevron thingeys)... if you use certain groups more often, move them to the top. It'd be somewhat irritating until it figured out your patterns of usage (and if different people use your computer for different things). Can you turn off the icon "moving" thing? I'd imagine if it were truly customizable you would be able to... but you never know, sometimes microsoft (and other software vendors) thinks things are "intuitive" but they are just plain annoying (i.e. the paper clip). Another annoyance is the non-standards across platforms with different applications (well, specifically, Netscape). Menu items are in different locations (usually with the right click/option click menus), which can get really annoying if you move between platforms a lot. I believe mozilla is more standard across platforms, but I haven't yet tried the linux version so I'm not 100% sure. Personally, I like the power to turn things OFF ;o) -nicole ************ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
