On my old 98SE machine the LED for the HD never flashed unless I saved a file or opened something. The rest of the time it remained dark while I played Solitaire or Sudoku or some such thing. It seems unnatural that my Dell Dimension C521 with XP ...

How??? And is it possible to make the address bar shorter? The top section of the internet explorer seems to be expanding. First there's the title bar, then the menu bar, then the links bar, then the tabs. It's all adding up, using a sizable chunk of the screen now. The links for example could have just the icon, not necessary to have the whole name... it's a link that I put there, I ...
