Thanks for the replies. I'll need to be searching for files in a few days. I will refer to these suggestions and perhaps my problem will be solved.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies. I'll need to be searching for files in a few days. I will refer to these suggestions and perhaps my problem will be solved.
Thanks again.
I looked for previous posts on this subject, but they're old. I tried the suggestions in those posts, however, but they didn't help.
Sometimes the search box in windows explorer will find a...
and thanks again
!!!!!!
Okey doke. How I long for the 20th century once more. I had neglected to register my email with WordPerfect. I didn't discover this until I tried to restart my computer, thinking that might solve...
Uh oh... Now they won't open at all!!!!!!!
Before, I could click the file, then right click, the choose WordPerfect, and the file would open in WordPerfect. After checking the box, none of the...
"but some times one has to scroll the list to click a program name to get the box to show up."
Yes, thank you. There was nothing to scroll. They gave me three choices: MS Word, WordPerfect, or...
I don't want anything to do with MS Word. I have Word Perfect on my computer. Every document wants to open in MS Word. I know how to click a document, then right click, and then choose Word...
I think the approach going through "services.msc" is the ticket. I have two of these cheapo computers, well $149 anyway, more expensive than a couple eggs over easy. On the first, I did both. I set...
Well I have Ethernet connection marked as metered, and they're still doin' it. MAKE 'EM STOP! MAKE 'EM STOP!
I got fed up with Microsoft Word. I swore I'd never use it again. That was years ago. I've been using Word Perfect for a few years. It's a lot cheaper, just as fancy, and I haven't had any...
Thanks. For a while at least I'll see how it goes erasing the hieroglyphics and staying with Pad.
If I do go for one of the free processors, I'll definitely be careful. I ended up with a mess...
My problem is that they're not .docx, they're .doc.
I clicked "choose default apps by file type" and found my .doc extension. I associated it with Wordpad. I do get the file. However, it is preceeded and followed by a bunch of this stuff: ÐÏࡱá....
The Word documents are showing up as .doc rather than .docx. I followed your suggestion, but when I tried to open the document I got the same song and dance from Microsoft, specifically, "Buy...
Thanks for the reply, Neemobeer.
Yeah I tried that. It shows up as a page full of nonsense symbols. I've tried that before. I don't want to install any free programs. If there is one thing I...
I have a new computer with 10. I have not installed any word processing software and am content for the time being with Wordpad. However, all documents that I have imported into this computer show...
Yes I see they moved reciprocal 1/x to the standard view. I often use cube root and sometimes y root of x. They are missing from the 10 calc.
Thanks, Bree. This is all good news.
To think I once did this so simply from the control panel on 8.1! Well, I guess we must keep up with the times. I don't know where it's all going though. ...
I have the Set_Ethernet_as_non-metered_connection.reg on desktop. If I want to pick a day and time to download updates, then I finish steps 11-13. Correct?
I did it. I got Ethernet marked as metered. Thanks, Bree.
Okay I got it changed back. I had to copy and paste from your post in order for it to work. It worked. Onward.
Somehow I got it to go to Administrators and I allowed Administrators full control. Now I can't get it to go back to TrustedInstaller. I don't know what I did.
Okay I did that. It says it cannot be found.
I made it to the box titled "select user or group". There is a place to enter text (Enter the object name to select) and it has a blinking cursor. Do I type "Administrator"?
Ah yes, 14393.
