Thanks Tom, but taskbar isn't locked.
As to using SP1, Up till now this has been a "office" PC for working
on vids, music and photos. I had all my software tools I use set up
and working perfectly plus I NEVER used it to connect to the net so
I've been abiding by the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.
But since I've switched PCs for "work" and am begining to use this one
for browsing, I may do the upgrade. (Found I couldn't try out Google
Chrome without at least SP2)
