Thank you; it worked once I finished all the steps. LOL I still get nervous in registry, but as many times as I have had to do it, I get a little more bold each time. I hope no one was offended I thought it might require sighted help; I figured the mouse might make it more a sighted issue. I only wish I had asked two days ago... Take care!
