I meant turn off email scanning at least.

You might try going to File | Identities and set up a new Identity and see
if the problem persists after doing that. It could be some registry
corruption is doing it and that would fix it.

Thanks. I read through the URL you sent me - but didn't see anything that
related to my problem. BTW, what do you mean by "do that minimally?"

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 You should do that minimally.

Thanks for the reply. I have several of the apps you mentioned on my
system - but they have been there for a while and I haven't had this
problem. Can you give me an example of disallowing this to happen
(McAfee AV, Ad-Aware's Ad-Watch)?

Options in several third-party applications can disallow such changes.
These include Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer, SpywareBlaster,
SpySweeper, Ewido, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or
Antispyware, and recent versions of Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

such that I see ALL posts. What could cause this?
