Think I may see a bit of light here.
Safe Mode shows two accts. - Administrator and Terry. When I log on
regularly, the account is Terry. Both are the same, with all my programs,
etc. Does this mean that acct. Terry is actually a User account with
administrator privileges, and therefore safe to work in on a normal basis?
If so, thanks for your help - you and Ron - and sorry for wasting your time.
If not, what next?
Thanks

Terry
