You da man, Chad!

Step 1 of your advice led to a fix within minutes. Usually
my heart starts palpatating when I have to mess with the
registry, but in this case the examples you cited were so
straightforward and logical that my nerves were steady as
a rock.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Regards from North Carolina.
