Hi,
After reading through several pages of postings, and then responding to
a post, I can't get back to where I was when I was when I POSTED. I
have to go to FAVORITES, and then WINX P and then start all over,
quickly scrolling through the several pages until I'm back where I
began before my POST.

What am I doing wrong?

Merry Christmas,
Mike
 
If you are using outlook express just press "control & H" (at the same time)
to see any thread you have posted in within that newsgroup.

Stop using Google Groups and use a real newsreader to access Usenet
instead. Here's information about that:

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:

I typed "Mikie Posting" (no quotes) in the Google Group search box after
going to the microsoft.public.windowsxp.general group.
