Ha!
I wonder how many people read through this thread, and bristled with pleasure at Roy's parting remark
He's 87 years old ... has loads to do ... and not enough time to do it all.
The last thing he needs, is to mess around with Windows 10 permissions.
... and a man of character, who didn't leave the thread hanging.
The way to go Roy.
Life is just too short.
