Everyone's XP shows OE5 for XP in the registry. I don't why and have often wondered why. OE loads MUCH faster with no splash screen. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "ETM" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> That's interesting that you are using 5.0 with XP. I would have thought XP would have hit you with 6.0. I use XP and the OE splash screen lasts about a second and goes right to the mail. I just checked because it is not my active mail program though it contains about three gig of mail that I use for reference. My active mail program is TheBat!.
