Hi Ann, Ahem?
A good catch. I actually fell prey to my own eccentricity there. I've
been changing the name of the "My Computer" shortcut on my Windows
desktops to "Computer" for the last 8 to 10 years simply so that I can
more easily use first letter navigation to get to the shortcut. It
seemed as if all of the Microsoft app shortcuts began with the letter m:
My computer, My Briefcase, My Documents, Microsoft Word... So, I always
changed "my Computer" to simply "computer," "My Documents" to
"documents," etc.
Having done this for so long, it didn't even register that the
"computer" shortcut was native.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Best
Ron Miller

Especially when the person in question is nervous about using her
computer.
Thank you everyone for your advise, I am writing the info down and will
try it tomorrow night with my Mom's computer if she will let me.
