Yeah, thanks, I just tried it again.  The specific problem I'm having is 
that when I run it, cookies are disabled on IE6 standalone.  If I click 
Tools > Internet Options from IE6 alone, I get the IE7 dialog.  Under 
Privacy, it says "Accept All Cookies", but cookies still don't work.  Dah!!

Not having cookies is the only problem I'm experiencing with Evolt's IE6 
Standalone and treadsofts MultipleIEs so far.  Unfortunately the pages I 
need to test require cookies.
