As I haven't run IE7 todayor even recently I think, with what I can glean from Sysinternals site (Good one isn't it) these are not malicious settings, so I still have the problem, not that its going to stop me surfing 'cos I've got Firefox now & I quite like it. But that Sony is bugging me some waht, you know what I mean.

Anyway Ragzeeboy thanks very much for helping out, at least I'm aware of Sony's dirty tricks & a new site for software (Sysinternals).

Thanks again have nice weekend

Hey kidUnot, If you want to find out more check out Marks Blog at sysinternals,he's the guy that found it. Although he's now gone over to Microsoft his archives make interesting reading as it seems Sony isn't the only one running this type of software. Mark is of the opinion that anything hidden from Windows API should be treated with suspicion.
Cheers Mate, Ragzeeboy
