 I did go to the homepage using Communicator 4.61 whilst
 having the beta ICQ programme loaded.

 The clincher in your comment above was to be actually on
 the WWW prior to telling ICQ beta "NO" to having an ID.
 A minute or so later a message appeared on the screen
 informing me of my ICQ ID number.
