Elmo,
Thanks for your effort, time regarding this post.
I didn't think I would get any more replies to this post believing time had
exhausted it.
Had the same belief of my other post that it would be ignored due to lack of
interest.
To that effect I did a system restore to an earlier time and it solved my
problem regarding the malfunction of the program.
Will leave the location of the program in C:\ and not try to put it in Start
menu or all programs.
Thanks again to you and Mark for your time, effort and expertise.
