Many thanks for your reply.
Oops, yes I meant the policy tab, so many programs now! smile.
I've tried this but it doesn't work for me. Currently I don't have any rules. I am not able to get to the add rule button by just pressing tab. I also tried using Orca to click on that button, but the button is disabled.
Best regards and thanks,
Christian
