Recently, whenever I boot my laptop, I began getting a small box about "internet shortcut shell extension dll" asking me what program I wish to open it with. As soon as I click the mouse anywhere it...

I back up my files every evening using SyncToy and all went well for a couple of years. About six months ago I got an error message which said: Cannot read from source file: documents/ etc. etc....

Hello Macboatmaster.
Thank you for reply. I tried your solution several times over the weekend and it works perfectly. My laptop is again booting up as it should; no sign of Edge. Thanks again.

Thank you, Denis. The lights in question are relatively well separated so I don't think your suggestion is the answer, Besides, if such were the case, the light would be on all the time since the...

I'm the OP.
Thanks one and all. Worked like a charm.

Why does my recycle bin only show a dozen items at most? I remember times when it showed 50, 60, 70........
Any guidance - re settings probably - is appreciated in advance.
