I have my keys here on hard drive/CDs. I recall rather *vaguely* about
registering my eCS OS/app pack at ecomstation.com and then able to save
the data to a file with the name of my choice. Where and in what format
is your registration key?

Good - it worked. For anyone else reading theis thread, the official
recommendation AFAIK for base eCS 1.1 install remains unchanged - Dani and
Sio.

Local System --> System Setup --> Appearance --> eStyler Preference -->
Shutdown
You haven't asked about the location of ePager the virtual desktops
located at Local System --> Screen --> ePager

Even with a router, I still would set up the software firewall next.
Injoy 1.4 right now here. I am going to have to retest Injoy firewall 3.0
beta again, maybe this weekend.
