Barry, we don't need your actual files. That's not going to help much
anyway. The only thing requested was a screenshot of your file manager
window showing the list of files, including their names, creation dates,
and modified dates. But if that list is several scrolling windows long,

One possibility that I might suggest is to buy a couple of USB memory keys
and move every file that you can find in whichever user folders on your
'C;' drive to folders with similar names on one of the USB keys. Then try
to pick out the files that appear to have data that belongs in your final

Yes, I appreciate that. Over the years my 'user' name has been changed.
Administrato is the one used as the baseline. However the Gnu files were
originally under the Barry Mahon user.
