Another question that I wanted to investigate has to do with my "expanded
control panel" menu. I found that the list is no longer alphabetized and
wonder if there is a simple fix for this? Definitely not a priority issue
but more a learning issue. I have TweakNow PowerPack installed and don't
know of anything I did to cause the list to start out with the "S" items at
the top of the list. Everything else is still alphabetized by how to put the
"A"s back at the top of the list? I tried resetting the "expand control
Panel" but that didn't work.

With the Control Panel expanded, right click somewhere on the expanded menu
and select "Sort by Name".

That was MUCH too simple ... lol. It somehow seems inconsistant with the
complexities of a computer. Thanks very much Tom

Don, as a general tip, when uncertain if you can do something or just to be
curious, right click on an object to see the context menu.
