Last night I looked in my log file and saw I commented about using
Safe Mode (SM) With Networking in April and September of this year.
Sorry for the repetition.



This morning while in the Limited Users Account I normally use,
I thought to use RunAs... and select the "Administrator" selection this
time instead of the other Admin acct I use a lot of times to have
programs run with Administrator priviledges.

When Internet Explorer opened it looked like a new installation of IE.
Same thing when I used RunAs... for Firefox.

So I set them both up the way I wanted them to be by changing IE's
Search Engine to the one I like, and I added NoScript and AdBlock Plus
to Firefox.

It is my thinking that it may be that I couldn't use IE or Firefox in
SM with Networking because they never have been set up in that account
since I got the XP SP3 Update installed years ago. ???

I appreciate everyone comments so far, Thanks!

Later today I will use the computer in SM with Networking and report
what I see.

Hopefully "I" figured out why I could use PING and TRACERT in a CMD
session but nothing happened when I tried using a Browser in the GUI.
