Thanx, vistamike... but, ccleaner doesn't get it. I use it a lot, and it misses the error report messages. Thanx, Marks100... that's what I was looking for. I've done it before, but couldn't remember how to get to it. Thanx, to both of you, for your input! NawlinsJeaux Reports: · Posted 6 years ago Top NawlinsJeaux Posts: 13 This post has been reported.
