Thanks a stack guys, will report back shortly!
BrOwnbear: I have two icons on (C:) for dddf:
1. Properties say dddf Application File
2. Properties say dddf.exe shortcut to MS-Dos Program
It does try to open with an error message on startup and I don't recall ever
seeing them on my C drive before, have now deselected the 'restore settings
at startup' on both and will see what happens on restart (we have major
afternoon lightning storms in summer so I shutdown and disconnect everything
most days)
