capatilizing the letter I

I have been having a problem for a while now.When doing a spellcheck after
typing the lowercase I was always marked as a mistake and I could correct it
..But lately it has not been marked as a mistake.What happened and what can I
do to fix it?Should I call dell or windows tech support/

Navigate to C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail and open
UserDictionary.lex with Notepad. Delete the line with just the lower case
'I'.

Click Start and type userdictionary.lex. The Start Search feature in Vista will find it.

This is the default folder path:
C:\Users\erin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\UserDictionary.lex
The file may be "hidden". I set my folder preferences to show all files and
not hide file extensions. I even put a shortcut to the dictionary on my
desktop and told Windows to open ".lex" files with Notepad so I can easily
change it. BTW, I think Frank meant to say delete the lower case i (not T).

If you take a closer look Ronc, you will not see T but ' I ' (I added a
couple of spaces to compensate for your bad eyesight) ;-))

Thanks. On my computer there is only one pixel space between the ' I ' and
the single quotes. Coincidentally, I went to my local eyeglass store today
to update my prescription.
