Sorry to say but that does not do it. I even went back to each of the 4 zones and reset to "Default Settings", clicked on "Apply", signed off on IE and shut down the computer, restarted and still "Protected mode:off". Went back and redid each zone indiviually and that did not work.

Will contact IE and see if they can help.

Don, thanks for your help, once again.
