Thanks Susan - I am now older and wiser... again.
This sounds not unlike the Windows Update's report of installed updates
(which I reported hereabouts), which as Microsoft admits will legitimately
tell you that an update was installed when it hadn't been...
[A few more "improvements" like this and I shall be no more able to use my
computer than I am to use a photocopier thanks to the beautiful but
incomprehensible button icons...my personal favourite was the image of a
paperclip on a "button" in the control button group... does it clip/staple
collated output?... Does it hell! It's a magnetic holder for paperclips...
of course]
