OK...thanks for all replies & suggestions.

I've used IE successfully since I was a little kid, so I think I'll keep on using it.

Same w/the toolbar. I like Google, but I don't feel any need to switch toolbars. I'm doing OK w/MS stuff.

So, I'll be considering the Xmark thing.

 LaziFarmer, are you using it? If so, do all FAVORITES have to be in the program? I don't need my wife's FAVORITES from our home computer on my laptop or shop computer, but I'd like MY home Favorites to make the trip.

I'd hate to stick my nose in & find something irreversible & cause more trouble than it was worth.

Thanks
