-- Glad somebody actually said what I feel about all this: taught myself 3
previous versions of Windows but XP is getting the better of me and will be
my last Microsoft OS! I am having the same problem: downloaded some photos
into a zipped file - which I cannot unblock because there is no such box to
uncheck. I have lots of things to do - do NOT want to be a computer tech when
I grow up and thought computers were supposed to make life simpler. Has taken
me over an hour to find this page and goes against the grain to do "chat"
stuff when all I want to do is ask a question (i.e. why are your instructions
incorrect? What now?)
