Just add me to the long list of grateful beneficiaries of your great cyber wisdom.
Following the detailed instructions in the referenced Microsoft article did indeed
solve this very annoying problem.
It does raise another question, however: Why, after working flawlessly for several

Thanks again. - Also, a special thanks to annoyances.org for providing this very
helpful forum.
