   Actually, I don't want to disable autorun, on the contrary, I want to   
   disable the AVG's control of it. IOW, I want to decide when/if I want   
   the autorun to work.   
      
   I know how I can disable the control of autorun in Windows, but not how   
   to do it in AVG.

   Thunderbird, that is.   
      
   ml> trying to use thunderbird for reading newsgroups in offline mode is   
   ml> going to be a real PITA...   
      
   I do not want to read newsgroups offline, I want to get the swedish and   
   finnish bulletins to the INBOX immeadetely when I ask "Get mail", not to   
   have to save them first from the list that presents them.   
      
   ml> there are a couple of ways to tell t-bird to get the messages in the   
   ml> groups... one is to use the online/offline button in the bottom left   
   ml> corner of the t-bird window... when you click it to go offline, it   
   ml> will then download all the messages...   
      
   Hmm, I don't want to click anything extra to get the bulletins (msgs) to   
   my HD for reading/editing/replying. That is the way the PMMail program   
   for OS/2 worked as long as I was able to use the POTS connection with my   
   ISP.   
      
   That is the way I want to have it, but the PMMailWin program wasn't able   
   to connect to my ISP via my laptops "Mobile Internet". Neither was the   
   guru at my ISP able to get it working, so he installed Thunderbird.   
      
   ml> it is just so much easier to subscribe to the groups and read the   
   ml> messages as they are pulled down without having to play with the   
   ml> online/offline mess... especially if you have an "always on"   
   ml> connection (eg: cable or dsl) anyway...   
      
   Of course I have subscribed to the bulletins, they wouldn't come here   
   to my account otherwise, but I have not used T-Bird to subscribe to them   
      
   I have saved your message for later reading, to see if I have something   
   to learn from it.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,
