TC, All I found on my machine was a shortcut because I had bookmarked it. I clear my temporary files 4-5 times a day at a minimum so if it were there I would probably have deleted it. At the least, I think we can assure E that his/her hard drive is not getting filled with this program, which seemed to be the reason for the question.<g> Confused Bob

theconfusedcow, I'm not sure if I've followed all this discussion, but here's what I have observed. Anytime you left click on a link that requires a file to be spooled to your machine to be played or displayed, a copy of the file is downloaded into the Temporary Internet Files folder on you machine. If you click on that link again, IE checks the Temp folder to see if it can find the file and play it. If not, it will download it. It's typical "cache" operation. In IE 6.0, the default location (you can change it) for this folder is in another folder called Local Settings in the Windows folder. Older versions of IE did not use this Local Settings folder and had Temporary Internet Files directly in the Windows folder. When IE saves a file, it typically adds a number to the file, so if you search for it you can miss it if you use the full name with extension. Mine got saved as WorldTradeCenter[1].swf. If you right click on a link and save the file to your disk, the file does not go into the Temporary Internet Folder, but of course you can play it from the saved location on your disk. Certainly disturbing images, but a nice piece of work. Dan
