I downloaded that Quotefix and it looks pretty neat. It installed as
a shortcut icon on my desktop. I have to click on it to activate it.
Is there a way to set it as a default to automatically take over
whenever I read newsgroups?

When I installed mine, it created a shortcut called "Outlook Express
with OE-QuoteFix". Looking at the shortcut, it appears to run a program
called "OELaunch.exe" in the OE-QuoteFix directory. Try running that and
see if it starts the two programs together.

When I left-click on that shortcut, it launches my OE newsreader (with the QF
features) and also places an icon in my system tray. If I right-click on the
systray icon it offers a Help option. In Help it says, "If you would like to
keep OE-QuoteFix running all the time, disable Depend on OE and copy the
stand-alone shortcut to your StartUp folder." This sounds like what I need to
do. I see the "Depend on OE" button but I'm not clear as to how to do the
copying. Do I drag the desktop shortcut somewhere? Do I do a copy/paste of the
shortcut icon? If so, where do I paste it?

Copy and paste the shortcut icon to whereever you like. Desktop, Start
Menu, Quicklaunch toolbar, etc. Just like any other shortcut.

FWIW, I keep mine on my QuickLaunch toolbar poised just to the right of
my Start menu.

Not intending to "drag this out", but the Quotefix shortcut is already on my
desktop and it also appears in the left hand column (my Startup folder?) when I
click the green START button. In order to activate Quotefix I have to click on
one of these icons. It doesn't work by default. The HELP instructions say that
to keep Quotefix running all the time I should copy the shortcut to my startup
folder. Isn't it already there?

Wow! New 2004-D Lincoln DDR discovery (CW, Feb 14) West coast collectors have
been lucking out lately.
