Thank you for you help and explanation - it's much appreciated. I was asking on behalf of one of our forum members at pchelpforum.com, it's a free site to help others with various PC issues, but I felt that this question needed to be clarified with someone with a bit more tech experience to be sure, hence using Technet :o) Thank you again.
