   Hi Jean,

   Thanks for the hint. Actually, it never came into my mind that THAT   
   would work against autorun. In my mind I have played with the thought   
   that I may find a panel with settings, and to disable the autorun   
   setting.   
      
   OTOH, that machine is mostly used to transfer files (bulletins), from   
   USB sticks to diskettes, because it has the plug-in diskette drive.   
      
   I'm still fighting Thunderbird. I want it to get the new messages   
   immeadetely to my HD, to be read/edited (bulletins), offline.   
      
   As it now seems to function, it seems to wait for me to save those   
   messages while still online.   
      
   I have sent e-mails to @blueprintsoftware.com, that are the authors of   
   the PMMailWin mail program, and tried to connect to their site, without   
   success.   
      
   I certainly would want somebody reading this, to alert me how to connect   
   to that company, or at least give me a hint of where I could get a more   
   up-to-date version.   
      
   The PMMailWin2000 I have installed needs NTVDM as per a note at the   
   installation process, but refuses to connect to my mail server, at least   
   when running under Win10.   
      
   I have a "Dummy file for NTVDM" in the autoexec.bat - but that's all I   
   know about NTVDM.   
      
   OTOH, I don't know how use this NTVDM when starting the program, and   
   neither did the guy at the ISP, so he took the easy way out to install   
   Thunderbird. I didn't tell him to install it on E:\ , so it now resides   
   on C:\mozilla\thunderbird.   
      
   JP>     Are we alone in this world ?   
      
   I think that's up to ourselves. The message activity is certainly low.   
   I seem to be occupied for at least five years after my death ;o).   
      
      
   CU L8ER, Sam, OH0NC   
      
   aka Holger
