Google|Yahoo|FunWebProducts crap toolbars are problem in and of
themselves...but I guess you are right. But putting this in perspective
here, this is just for site development, a temp folder works for the
most part. The website-to-be will be public? Yes -- No? All OP wants is
to limit in-development versions from competing with the final site. So
far I have not found any of my development sites in the temp projects
folders listed with the final websites in search engines. Good enough --
no? Else to be absolutely private, burn on a CD with one of those mini
webservers and mail that thing to London.

Take care,
