I can't stand things that hide things, so i disable it right away.

It's not a user error -- I hit it all the time and we have even discussed
it around here already.

I also hate the way buttons in OE resize themselves. (The fix is to
"show no text labels" and then show them again.)

idiosyncrasies in XP:

- The auto-hide feature of the icon tray has seemed to stop working. A
google search shows others with this problem.

- I'm not yet convinced that this isn't simply user error, or an access
rights thing, but sometimes the file search function does not return files

Maybe you've had similar problems.

*Searching for text in files apparently has its own surprising behavior in
that it operates only on files that have registered types--I think it may
actually limit the search to files it thinks are text. But this is not what
I'm referring to here.

Well my version on IE is up to date and I still get the periodic trip to
the update page at IE  startup. I  do not have the automatic update box in
Control Panel-System checked. It's a minor nit along with XP's changing of
the details view in folders from time to time but it is an irritant

   If you are running an older version of IE I think it may periodically
take you to the update page.  This is controlled by an option in the
Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog.

Every now and then, when I start IE, it takes me to the windows update site
instead of my normal start page. If I quit and restart, it takes me to my
normal start page. Is this expected behavior? It is unexpected by me.
