    Yes I've lots to learn

    Regarding the tabs... I can move the tabs horizontally within the open window or I change the order of the tabs, but I cannot drag outside the window.

    Regarding the temp files.... still creating them :(

    Click Start,type gpedit.msc in the Start Search box,and then press Enter.
    Go to User Configuration,Administrator Templates,Windows Components,Internet Explorer,and then Set tab process growth.Is that set to anything?Like Low,Medium,High,or Default?

    What programs did you need to shut down in order to delete the temp files that were in use when you did it before?

    Nope,doesn't look like it.Ok,good.
    Are you familiar with regedit?

    Do you know roughly how many temp files were generated again?Are a large amount of them the same type of file?i.e. a lot of them are the ~DF*************.TMP files,or the INS_**********.TMP files?

    I have used regedit before

    There are a number ~DF******** files but they go with applications like IE and the brother p-touch software I use.

    I just had a look again and I think have worked it out.... and again can only apologise for the time you have invested in me....

    In safe mode im able to get down to

    this empty file is the one that cannot be deleted. The other 300+ that are being created are in the _MEI***** folder...

    According to this link,the _MEI****** folder being left behind is a bug in Google drive:

    The good news is there's a workaround.

It ought to terminate properly when the user logs out.
    According to this link,FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt is related to the Windows Fax and Scan service:

    Mine is empty to,so I guess that's normal

    That's no problem at all,no need to apologize.

    I just want to check one or two things in the registry,but I'll ask you to backup the registry now,saves having to do it later,if any changes are needed:
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/window...-windows-7.htm
    Once the registry is backed up,could you go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,then scroll down and click on Main,and in the pane to the right,let me know if you see TabProcGrowth there.If it is there,let me know what it says under Data.
    Next,go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer,then scroll down and click on Main.In the pane to the right,locate TabProcGrowth,and let me know what it says under Data.

    Good,that should cut down on the temp files from Google Drive.

    Bingo!(Well,hopefully.)
    Please go to Start,type Regedit,and say yes to the prompt from UAC.
    Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,then doubleclick TabProcGrowth.Under Value Data,change it to 1,then click OK,then exit the registry.
    Then open Internet Explorer,then open a tab,then try to drag it to a new window.

    You're welcome.

    When you return to Juliet,would you please mention what was happening with Mercury/32?It was probably happening because the relay controls weren't set,but Juliet ought to know about it,just in case.Thanks.
