I think that the additional search engine choices had just not been ported over
for V8.0 at the time I was having the problem. I am reasonably happy with the
"Google.com (in English)" as it gives me the same thing I see from the Google
search bar on my home page. And I will seldom use it except in very
widely scattered circumstances.

 SH> I can't help you with that one.

Oddly enough it was back yesterday afternoon when I got home. Then disappeared
when the home page did its periodic "refresh".  <SHRUG>  The "Spring Scape"
theme is by the same artist and works the same (changing with the hour of the
day) and it seems to hang around through the refresh process. I'll live with
that. I was just kvetching.   Bv)=

The backup option is one I was unaware of. But IObit shredder works well for
getting rid of things. I have registered their Advanced System Care. Note to
eavesdroppers - there is a free version, which works the same as the pay
version except you have to invoke it yourself. I have had good things from
using both the free and the upgraded "pro" versions.
