How pleasant it is to read the way you 'regulars' interact. Very cheering.
Guaranteed to give one a smile. I came back to get a link to this thread in order to give credit where it was due (elsewhere) and noticed the additional posts. All the best, Noel and Alan. Ben. ..

Missing ShellIconCache
YW, Ben - that's why I stay around!!
The XP groups tend to be a little too aggressive for my tastes (although I can mix it with 'the best', on occasion) - these groups are family for me (without the internecine strife of real families, most of the time!) -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Ben B" seafarerathushmail.com wrote in message ...

Hello Galen,
Glad you are still active. Unlike Wales (Noel's territory) where it is always raining, and Alan's where they huddle whilst awaiting the next Ashes series - regardless of the weather, and yours where even smaller mountains are snow-covered now, I am by nature Rupert Bear - like (i.e. I hibernate regardless of the weather). I am indeed denned up as you suggest. The calendar gives me the freedom. Best wishes, Galen. Ben. "Galen" wrote in message ...
