thanks again.
would you mind giving me the step by steps to "open the programs associated with 
the processes and disable them from that interface"?  Do you mean actually opening 
program itself, i.e. opening Word, causing a blank word doc to appear, or opening 
it some other way?  In either case, what would be the procedure?  [I'm smart, just 
 uneducated in these matters ... therefore teachable]
