My guess is that if you make IE your default again, most of the stuff you mention will go back to the way it used to be... and consider yourself lucky regarding the font size. At least on the Windows platform -- I am assuming that's where you are -- you have control over Chrome's defaults. I'm still waiting on that for the Mac. Maybe we can groom Lilly to be your geek... @Cynthia: It sounds like when you installed Chrome, it may have taken over the role of “default browser” on your computer system.

I feel honored since about 99% of your posts are 40K feet over my head. Just yesterday I upgraded to Google chrome. I make it a habit to never upgrade or download anything once I get my PC working since Murphy's law always applies to me...but I was feeling bold. Well, darn it I regret it now. Yes I noticed faster searching...but it's the residual effects that bother me. All my passwords disappeared on bank and merchant websites. For some reason now my bookmarks are gone (and the install said it was carrying them over) and, worst of all, it changed the views on my Outlook email that I use for work. Why? I have no idea. I guess I just like things to stay the way they were...I need a geek beside me when I do these upgrades apparently. Ron, while I agree that your handwriting does require a magnifying glass to read I also agree that Google chrome font makes me feel like I am in kindergarten. Cheers!
