Thank you Richard. Following your guidance, I have now found all my old programs, can edit and run them. What a relief! My Local Technician has lost his charisma. I am thinking of trying to reinstall the Malwarebytes anti-virus program (only the new trouble-causing version would be available) and modifying it as you described, but am nervous about it. My L.T., after previously advocating it, has now told me I don't need it, but I suspect that that is only so that I can use BBC4W again. I know this is not BBC4W business, but I would appreciate your advice on this. Thanks Chrispc

What version of Windows are you running? If it's Windows 8 or 8.1 my opinion would be that the built-in Microsoft anti-virus solution is perfectly adequate, and you don't need anything else. For earlier versions of Windows it's a more difficult decision.
