Thanks GS good info as always from you. As far as IE12 that you posted info on, I still use IE10 as my main browser and Palemoon at times. Tried IE11, it didn't play nice with my W7. If DPI was above 100% gadgets wouldn't work properly, also some websites wouldn't work well with it. May try IE12 but, doubt if I'll keep it. Just saying.
