3/20    Damn IE 6 on XP. I have a nice Google toolbar. I have their normal
        fwd/back/reload etc. toolbar. I want to put them both on the same
        line, so I unlock the toolbars, move them how I want them, lock
        them again. Then an hour later, it magically changes back. Ideas?
        How can I make it stay the way I want it?
        \_ Did you have more than one IE window open at the time?
           \_ No, it'll do it even with a single window. It's like I have
              a gremlin that changes all the settings back at several
              random times throughout the day.
              \_ XP is buggy like that. I have several directories that I've
                 set up columns in a specific way in Explorer. An hour later,
                 one of those directories will always revert back to default.
                 Of course, when I reinstalled XP, the problem went away.
                 \_ I've only had the computer a week; it came with XP.  -- op
        \_ Reboot your computer.  Open one IE window.  Make your changes.
           Reboot.
        \_ Your first mistake: IE.  Your second mistake: XP.
        \_ Not just XP, on my Win2000 Server, my IE 6 always reverts back
           to medium size font even though I chose "smaller" font size.
