One other thing. I would download IE 5.5 SP2 and all relevant security
patches. There have been some significant issues raised with IE in the past
couple of weeks and it is very important to have the latest patches. 5.5 is
hardly any different than the 5.0 you seem to be using.

Personally, I'm a little squirrelly about IE 6 until it has had a little
more time to season, but you may be more inclined to have the latest and
greatest so that's another option. It's a much bigger change, however.
