Well it loaded up quick for sure. I'm keeping the fingers crossed it stays this way. Should I go back and reverse the stuff I did at the start with the files on "My Computer".?
They should already be hidden but you can check.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "hide files and folders."
check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.
They were still showing. Now hidden. I think that is all. Thank you Mr.LDTate. You've been a great help. Very patient too and it's been totally appreciated. If anything else goes wrong I shall head this way. :notworthy:
