Sure enough, the one that should have said ".....iexplore.exe" now said something about "Chrome". So even though I had gone into the control panel and uninstalled Chrome, it didn't fix this. I had to change everything back myself.

That kind of thing really bugs me and it will be a long time before I bother with Chrome again - if ever. I have heard from other people that they found lots of glitches.
I finally figured how to add bookmarks eventually, ande I don't use Outlook or Express. It was also suggested to me that I don't set Chrome as the default browser.

Thanks, but I haven't used IE in years. Or any MS product except in extremis.
