Lewis:
After your words of encouragement I went again to WMP and IE to see if I 
could find something
that approximates your suggestion.  If I did, I'm still not sure because 
some other things happened.
After exiting IE and going to FF it discovered that it was no longer in 
charge and asked me if I
wanted to make FF the default browser, which I answered yes to, and then 
Yahoo got into the act
and said our access bar is no longer on FF and do I want it installed.   
And again I said yes.
And then one of these two discovered that my access rights were not what 
they should be and asked
me if I wanted to 'reset' them to what they were originally.  So I said yes.
Now everything is accessible without any complaints.
Thanks for your patience and help!
