Thanks again for your help. The icon was hidden, and my husband showed me
how to find it. When I followed the instructions, the problem went away for
1 day. We did the procedure on both accounts. The next day the icon was
back and so was the problem. I just followed your directions to the startup
menu, and deleted the program. If this doesn't work, I'll go through your
whole instructions and try that. Thanks again and again, & Happy New Year
