Hi Gerald, Thank you very much for this information. There is a lot of info on that website. Unfortunately, for me anyway, it all ran together and became confusing. The reason it became confusing is that my computer language/comprehension skills suck at best. I will return to this website to help me understand everything in the MS configuration utility better. Thanks again, take care.
