Roy, here is what I did (and I have Windows Vista, with the latest
updates on an HP Pavilion):

1) I went to "Start", "Run", and entered "Regedit".

2) I searched for "Suggested sites" and deleted every entry - I believe
there were three.

3) After rebooting I've had no problems with the "Suggested sites"
showing up since.

Hope that helps, Roy. All the best to you.

Indiscriminate registry editing...yep, that's the way...to get yourself
in trouble. Only a matter of time.

If you prefer, Leonard, you may certaily choose to never to edit th
registry. But in carefully editing the registry, over a number o
years, I've never had a problem, even once
