Whooppie!

Well,, I Just MAY have won the fight.. I dumped Mozilla ( & several other Pgms, HP printer stuff) & reloaded Mozilla. Total PITA, Explorer wouldnt let me do Anything..Kept sayin my security was set so that pages wouldnt display, I hadda go thru the security line by lane, allowing this & that, not knowing if I was being a dummy ,, took 2 trips thru & once it would let me load Mozilla it still wouldnt even let me open Yahoo Mail..
Ive got 5 windows open & CPU usage isnt hitting 20%. By now, before all this, I would have been sitting at 50% or more & it would be SLOW..

I haven't used Int Explor for years now, firefox and Opera are the two I use.. I set the browser to erase ALL cookies when browser is closed, seems to help keep garbage off my PC I also do malware scans twice monthly, manual scan though, nothing automatic

I Hadda use IE to get Firefox reloaded.. I went back & reset security to default levels so I wouldnt hafta go line by line.

How do I set it to kill cookies?
How do I get it to open a new tab & it not just be a blank space? I want it to open to Startpage ( Not Google). Its been up & running all nite,,& its still fast! Woo HOOO..

&, I FINALLY figured out the ?, OF..

RU ( RED) E.. It hit me a coupla days ago.. Yea,, Im that slow, but when something confuses me, I kinda do a back burner thing on it,,
Looks like Im in the clear for now,, Im considering doing it just fer giggles now,, since Im using XP & since XP may get obsoleted, I mite should prepare to have another OS to use.. right? Or no?

Yeah the other OS thing is what I am experimenting with... also the "chrome" browser in hopes that it will provide a little more protection than IE.

Have an old Compaq Presario that I was going to give to the sis-in-law cause her laptop failed, and was going to do the other OS on it, but chrome browser will have security updates for XP machines, or so I've been lead to believe.
