Howdy! Ben,

While in the XP Limited Users Account I normally use I finally saw the
Documentation for Gizmo by using Run As Admin.

I had tried that but all I saw was the Manager and when I clicked on
the Help Button the Manager vanished.
It wasn't until I Ran As Admin that clicking on the Help Button didn't
make the Manager vanish, it went to the Help Option in the Left Column
and I could wander through the Docs.

Even by running Gizmo as Admin AND running Windows Explorer as Admin I
didn't see Calculate Hash Values show up in the Option Box.
And I tried both the Right-Click and Shift Right-Click methods.

It looks to me like I won't be able to use Gizmo after all, but thanks
for Helping me to see the Docs for it.

I am also behind a Router and use a firewall called Fort Knox but I'm
just too paranoid to always use the Admin Account.

One thing I like about LIST.COM is that I can look at Text Files by
Right-Clicking on LIST, but XP doesn't show what I recently viewed in
its Start - Documents list.

I don't know the inner workings of XP but "I THINK" Every File I open
is remembered by XP Writing a small file, just like Internet Explorer
Writes every Favorites as a seperate small file which takes HDD space.

In 1996 when I started using a browser with my W3.1 pc, my seeing IE3.x
using a sector for each Favorites I saved in it, took 8MB off of my
330MB HDD, and Navigator added Bookmarks to the same sector until it
full before opening another sector, I've never liked using IE unless it
was absolutely necessary since then because of that.

And now since Microsoft isn't giving XP pc's any more Updates, I don't
"think" I'll have to use IE 8 anymore, anyway.

I use Firefox, but I have Opera to fall back to if ever....

Thanks for the Help and The Postitronium server.
It's been a long time since I downloaded a All Files List, so I going
to download it today and have a look through the files on it.

... And God said, "Windows 95," and the whole world crashed...
