I will also add this to my post above: When you turn on your computer, your desktop pops up. Click on the QuiltingBoard icon that you placed on the desktop after creating the shortcut. You dont need to open up a browser, home page, or anything. The link puts you right on the internet, and right on the Quilting Board page. Use this if you want to go nowhere else besides the Board when you get on your computer. After you read all the new posts, look at all the pictures you missed, etc., you can open more tabs and go to your homepage (MSN for the news is mine), email, etc.
