Guest phoenix22 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 thanks one and all..........I guess I better hang to that, since I like my auto complete and password stuff..the only reason I fixated on that app at all.......was I noticed it was being shown as a running app in what's happening. Then I got curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
