Tried that, though I wasn't quite sure what I was doing :-(
Doing a Crtl Shift F12 twice just gets me to the normal
shut-down/restart screen.
Doing exit desktop from the task manager icon (1) gets a blank screen,
and no matter how many times I type help, I get nothing appearing on
it. Oh, well, back to the ol' reset button.
(1) This is where I sometimes get into trouble on particularly dozy
days, clicking on exit desktop rather than shutdown. As I mentioned,
it's more a nuisance than a real problem.
With best wishes,
Peter.
