2016-01-22T04:59:57+00:00 I finally got this to work, after hunting unsuccessfully through the task scheduler and through DOS in Command Prompt. I ended up chasing out the menu tree in file explorer (one of my favorites) and found the 2 files, deleted them and bingo, it worked. Thank you, John Angus
