Hi Don.
I should have mentioned earlier, I am using Vista Home Premium.
I did as you suggested and actually found a rip YouTube addon (control
name is not available). I disabled it and the small icon is gone. My
computer has always been on a anti-virus program which automatically
checks for updates - and installs if it finds any - at 2 am every
night. About a year ago we had an argument at the local university
about whether a certain soprano had ever recorded a certain opera
aria. That evening I visited YouTube and found a recording. That was/
is the only time I ever visited YouTube and I must have done something
obviously wrong. It is expected, I suppose, from old geezers like
me. Thanks again, Don.
YW. Glad the button was ID'd and disabled. Should you decide that you do
want to save youtube videos, a web search should turn up several methods.
Don
