Hello...

Heavens yes, I do not by any stretch of the imagination mean that you
should delete any "netinfo.xxx" file.....only the ones that I referred
to....."netinfo.zip" and "netinfo1.zip"...and statistically, if you have
them, they would probably be as mail attachments (wherever you store
attachments) because that is probably how you got them....

Thank you John!!!
