Anyway.....version .440 is working great and avoids me having to allow flash for every stinkin webpage...

Hard to say without knowing which version of Flash, FireFox and Chrome you're using.... Well first....Chrome decided to start playing flash on youtube now, where it would not before, so I guess that is solved. FF is still failing.....it is version 35.0.1.....and says it is up to date when looking a...

Aha! That is a lot better. The new pet works great as described. I was able to edit the file and create a shortcut with it. I did try clicking on the Make/Edit Shortcut without clicking on the new file icon and noticed it will not open on its own. However, it worked fine as described. Thanks a ton. ...

Well....I switched this machine over from Lxpup to basic Tahrpup and have been customizing and installing programs to try things out.

Awesome......thanks for the tips on Pale Moon. That helped a ton. I did figure out the PCmanFM option.....obviously I could have skipped the Rox Filer.

Thanks for the super fast response.....will see if anything else stumps me on this.

Thanks again!
