Heh, heh, oops.  I tried to find and edit a config file that would let
me use something like '-b (path)/firefox.exe' but everything is a .pye
and I know zip (or is that rar?) about php.

I can make a shortcut that opens firefox on the localhost:8880/home page
and maybe I can find a way to put it on the tray beside the SpamBayes
tray icon

Oops.  You do already have the link to spambayes on all pages.  At the
bottom.
