Hi Veronica, Well, thanks for this. I've inadvertently activated Mission Control and am glad to get rid of it. I had two keystrokes to deal with, Control-Up and Control-Down Arrow. I could uncheck the boxes without interacting, so not sure why you had to do so, but the end result was the same for both of us, that's what counts. Thanks again.
