Lately, I've been annoyed by a large window that pops up unexpectedly. The title is "Welcome to Internet Explorer 8." The available buttons are: : "Next" and "Ask Me Later." How can I get rid of it? If I have to revert to IE 7, how do I do that? My OS is XP Home and I automatically get Windows updates.

You can either finish setup by clicking on "Next", or you can do this: http://www.winhelpon...once-all-users/

Thanks. I didn't know that I had to "finish" the setup. I was afraid that it was going to knock out my existing browser, which is Firefox. I'm kind of a fraidy-cat when it comes to MS. Everything is running fine until MS comes along and screws it up. Thanks, again.
