   Ah yes, the old "I said 'a new web profile or computer user', but ment only   
   'computer user'" bait-and switch.  :-(   
      
   Also, as whomt have you installed the browser ?   I hope it wasn't as an   
   Admin, otherwise your OS-maintained seperation of users is violated (the   
   browser can grab the ID from the Admins account).   
      
   The same goes for Windows by the way.
