Of course if you share the same userid it wouldn't work, I'll have to check if it works the way I think just to satisfy my own curiousity now!<br /><br />I'm glad to be of help, I always feel knowledge is to be shared not hoarded - especially as I'm likely to be the one to benefit. We've never met and I can't remember now how I found your blog, been reading it for a while before I posted though. I recently moved up to South Cambs with my wife and child from the Big Smoke and I used to live in Norfolk for a short while. I'm Bill/William (answer to either) and was called Bilbo a long time ago and I just use it online these days.Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12813810735247682524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-6837822309504104082011-10-11T21:21:38.507+01:002011-10-11T21:21:38.507+01:00Well, it's easier for me to remember what'...Well, it's easier for me to remember what's in (to me) the wrong place than it is for the Sage to learn that the @ isn't where the keyboard says it is.

If a car came up behind us, I would tighten the halter on which I was leading her and she'd gallop madly in a complete circle, which of course got her going in the correct direction again. Have you tried Pinky on a halter - it might work. As she knows you it should give you some control without panicking her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558857315748815249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-74416619614056200642011-10-11T19:11:44.113+01:002011-10-11T19:11:44.113+01:00Speaking from the depths of ignorance would big Pi...Speaking from the depths of ignorance would big Pinkie tolerate a lead?<br />Unpasteurised milk conjures up the awful forties.

Windows help says:<br /><br /><br />When you download files, Windows usually saves them in the Downloads folder, which is located under your user name in the Users folder on the drive where Windows is installed (for example C:\users\your name\downloads). When you are saving the file, you can choose to save it to a different folder. Some different types of files are saved to different folders by default. For example, if you right-click a picture on a webpage and then choose Save Picture As from the menu, the picture will be saved to the Pictures folder by default. If you're not sure where the file was saved, you can search for it from the Start menu.<br /><br />I remember now that I changed my default setting to be the desktop, but I can't recall quite how I did that.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-35703792514577118442011-10-11T09:54:45.416+01:002011-10-11T09:54:45.416+01:00We weren't going to look in the dark!
