Tnx Larry. The only profile listed is "default", which apparently is the one
I'm using. My system displayed the msg: ". . . is not accessible. The file or
directory is corrupted and unreadable" . . . that's about as far as I can go
with it. I'd like to delete it if psbl, but at this time no work around seems
to work, including chkdsk. Appreciate ur input. Happy Easter!
