    hey when boot from a boot diskette, and go to windows folder, the dir command doesn't list favorites at all. None of the windows folders are listed like temporary internet files etc etc...

    and ME is newer than 98, yet most would take 98 over ME.

    I didn't expect really expect anything more there to back up your argument. "Because it's 98" well, gee, I never realised that one; I'd better let all my clients know this asap & tell them to spend loads of money to upgrade from 98 now!!!

    ME isn't better than 98, it's 98 spruced up with a lot of pointless features and visually appealing screens, but within the process of adding all these points, a lot of bugs have been introduced and some functionality has been lost or been moved so it's harder to find.
