Sorry, I was not aware this site is volunteer operated. I can thus assume all answers will be unfettered by company politics. Thanks to all of you. How do I rid my system of Google? Through some quirk the Google search page has kicked out my IXQuick search page and only allows me to choose IXQuick from the pull down menu/bookmarked selections. All reasonable suggestions will be attempted until I am free of that devil.

Thank you,

John
