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.
