   AHA!  I keep things simple here, except for the three (3) drives in the box,   
   which enable me to logon to two of the three with the boot "mangler."

   With W10, I'm seriously considering talking to it instead of using keystrokes,   
   much as I did when I was running OS/2.  I have to make sure that I have   
   everything I want disabled to actually be in that state before proceeding.  It   
   has been so long since I did that, I've just about forgotten how.  Any   
   suggestions posted by users of the "Microsoft Community" are about as useful   
   as a forsaken woman's kiss.   
      
      
   Regards,
