Bill -

Strangely enough, I didn't have this sort order in the computers I had
with Windows XP, as I was evidently supposed to have according to the
article - I had the old sort order.

I've just edited the registry on the laptop, and, eureka,
*_IT_WORKS!!!!!_* You don't realize how much frustration and how many
cuss words you've saved me. Send me your address and I'll send you my
first-born daughter, although I can't guarantee she's a virgin.

Now on to the desktop.

Thank you so very much, kind sir.

John
