Pleased to be able to help, sometimes the simple things work although not
often enough.

I'm a bit curious how this happens because it takes a conscious effort to
change those settings, but it does seem to happen all on it's own
occasionally. Of course that's why it's so easily overlooked.

Hmm, hold down a shift key for 8 seconds seems to be the easiest way to get
at the properties... I suppose there's a vague chance someone could do that
and panic... <g>
