Hej,

Sorry.  I should have put column there instead of 'pane'.

Great!

I didn't go that far, but I still wonder why that icon is on the desktop.

 HG> That happens to be the date that killed my access to Facebook

Wow!

 HG> Yes it was apparently 1511. I started up the laptop, and before

Yes, I remember now.  It was 1511.  Thanks.

 HG> I then started up the WiFi, and was shown that Windows had an

I'll look into that.

I have a FB account, but I didn't get out while the getting was good.  I
haven't logged into it in a few years -- probably 4.  I was talked into getting
 a FB account by a Russian concert pianist and her husband who now live in
Baden-Baden, Germany.

 HG> Have a nice day,

You too.
