Thanks, "Gist"!

I was actually going to uninstall IE7 (doing full PC backup right now for
last 30 minutes)...I assume that I should run these repair things after
uninstalling, and then reinstall IE 7? That's what I am getting out of your
reply. Of course, When it's temporarily back to IE6, I'm going to test these
two problems, just for the record.

When all is done, I will reply back with results.

You've been a great help!

Thanks!

Andy
