    You are most obliging, and I greatly appreciate your time and attention and expertise: thank-you.
    I turned UAC on and set it to the highest level and it immediately began popping-up windows asking for permissions. I experimented with the lower settings one by one but it was even flagging my automatic instant restore point task on start-up when at the lowest level. Perhaps I don't know how to drive the thing - I will take some to learn time now you advise its use but I have to say, unless I can make it invisible I will probably not bother using it. Such is the indulgence of the spoilt. I am sure I experimented with it when I first upped to 7 and a new machine.
    I have turned EPM on.
    In future I will scan the data HDD as well. SSDs are now cheap enough to use for bulk data storage: I may well invest.
    Thank-you again.
    Those pop-ups are a royal PITA but they are there to protect you. It only takes a second or so to click on yes but do so only after y6ou read what the process starting up is one you want to start. That is the whole point of the pop-ups. They alert you to whenever a process starts so a nasty can't start up without your knowledge or permission.

    I was also getting messages when I was closing apps telling me (I'm sorry I should have made a note of it) something about being unable to save to a certain location. I'll need to activate it again and get it organised. I suppose I must have been lucky so far but I don't want to push it simply to save the second or two it takes to read and click a button.

    If the app was installed while the UAC was off, then the OS might not have set it up to write to a VirtualStore folder.

    I'm attempting to acclimatise myself to pushing more buttons but it isn't easy (to acclimatise, I mean); however, if need's must! Thanks for all your valuable input Folk's, I'm slowly getting round to recreating my shortcuts, but I have an awful lot to do.

    On a 64bit OS (with the UAC still turned OFF and with EPM turned ON), IE10 starts with a 64bit parent process at the medium high integrity level. That parent gives birth to only 32bit children (tabs) that also run at the high integrity level. It is those tabs that do the actual surfing to web sites. It is that high integrity level that makes IE less safe. [You can force 64bit tabs, but let's not go there.]

    I corrected a copy/paste error in this post.

    Thank-you, I thought it was my incomprehension because it wouldn't be the first time.
