No problem glad to be of help.
Its easy to get tied up in knots when things dont work out, i know i do
especially as i get older LOL.
I have no formal IT training but self taught from the first computer back in
the 1970`s and its hard to keep up when your not working in that environment
anymore. I just build & maintain my own pc`s as and when and always do
something more complicated than just a `C` drive plain install, lol.
This is one of the things i like about the Newsgroups and internet, everyone
is so helpful, and giving up there time to help others.
Thanks also to the other replies on helpfull web links.
Good luck John and all,
regards,
Graham....
