Usually the menu's are a resource file stored somewhere - but this does not have to be the case. Domain Registration, Hosting, Management http://www.dollardns.net

I did a text search through all the files for "Favorites". No likely matches. However, this may only be because the text is in unicode - which means there's a null character in between every letter. So go ahead. Domain Registration, Hosting, Management http://www.dollardns.net
