Everybody's input helped me find the answer. Thanks to all!

What's with the green check marks? Everything in my Pictures folder and subfolders have green check marks in the lower left corner. How do I get rid of them?

There exists several more than one of each. I simply did not understand the difference. Thanks to you guys, I got it.

TV2, that just might be the answer. My PC has 2 types of USB ports. Some are "USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-AConnector" and the other is "USB 2.0 Connector (Supports SmartPower On). My mouse was connected to the...

It is a PC new 12/15/19 Dell

The mouse is wireless.

I found zero, 0, no options regarding mouse abilities in this regard in the BIOS.

I recently used DOS's MIR command to write over existing files adding changes, mirroring drives, and deleting files no longer on the source drive. It does not rewrite any data already on the dest....

The problem has not abated even after I changed the mouse power management to disallow this device to wake this pc. It does disallow waking from sleep but has NO affect on the ability of my mouse to...

Thanks, Jacee, I did find it, however it freezes when I try to launch it as it does for users sharing @ 1903: Notepad freezes.

Is there a viable replacement of Notepad for those of us who have the latest Windows 10 ver 1903..? I've used Notepad daily since the inception of Windows decades ago. Its simplicity and easy to copy...

That worked. It took a few more steps to get rid of the original Pictures folder in quick access. Thanks.

f14tomcat, thumbnail solution also worked, thanks.

I robocopied via DOS all my files from my Windows 2007 old PC to preserve the original datestamps of all my files. Worked great but figuring out where the picture files actually exist is baffling....

No, not yet. I'll get there when I have time. In the meantime I feel the need to add that though I am a "junior" member of this platform, I've not been a "junior" of anything for at least a couple of...

That will be my next step. I always try first to find resolutions. Dell uses India for its cust. svc. now and understanding Indians is another undesirable challenge. Thanks.

Now the key word appears to be "you." You apparently do have this option. It does not exist in my BIOS. I looked in every item in my BIOS. Dell likes to do it the Dell way. That or things have...

"Waking" is not the issue here. Thank you.

I intentionally said "boot" and yes it boots from the completely OFF condition! I can't even gently move my mouse out of my way. It is one sensitive mouse!

I haven't tried it yet in your version but for decades I've simply found the .wav files for specific apps and renamed the offending file with an X somewhere in the file name.

I tried most everything suggested in a similar thread of 2015. I barely touch my mouse and instantly my PC boots up. I'm capable of pressing the ON button, I don't need help from the mouse. Any ideas...

The stock trading software I use from Charles Schwab does not upgrade daily, hence it does not suffer this pop up. But then it is not as sophisticated as is TDAmeritrade's ThinkorSwim, which...

I am still hoping there is a control I've yet to find that can deal with individual apps.

I appreciate your warnings but before one could surf I was learning to code in Dr. Dos, before the existance of Microsoft. I'm painfully cautious.

It was the spaces that I missed. Once I entered the spaces correctly, it worked. Thanks to all here for the help.

Thanks for assuming I would understand, but I don't. Could you possibly explain how I can make this work for me?
