Hmm? I looked at the location specified by the registry and it didn’t have what I had just, supposedly downloaded. The registry did have an entry which I thought more likely corresponded to “MRU” data.
I’ll look elsewhere for a solution to my problem.

Doesn’t work for me either…so easy in FF, wonder why IE is so much difficult!
