 |Ohhh.  That.  Yes.

 |explain that you can disable that by deleting the registry key
 |HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\Namespace\{9D20AAE8-0625-44B0-9CA7-71889C2254D9}
 |
 |Does that do it for you?

No, unfortunately not.  I deleted the key using regedit, brought up IE6,
still saw the / under Desktop.  Quit IE6, ran regedit, and verified that
the key was still deleted.

What am I missing?  Probably a newbie thing I'm missing somehow.

Thanks,

Randall
