No prob in delay of post. (Technical)
Thanks for confirmation!
Although it’s Christmas, I just had nothing really to do unfortunately
so… I thought I’d post it for someone when they got back.
MikeBCda: Maybe it has something to do with the different flavours of XP? I use XP Pro, and you use XP Home? Just a thought. But at least the behaviour I have described has been confirmed. 
I’m honestly glad this issue hasn’t affected you and found this to be interesting.
So thanks for posting your info Mike!
Sincererly,

PS: Oh, my system has all critical service packs, PRE-service packs, and most recommended updates.
