furthermore I have always been told to save something AFTER I opened it to be sure what it was about. I had to reverse this time. CC

Earnest, as of this hour its 23 times. I'm sure the total will be more. There should be someone out there that has a better way. CC

C.C. whoever told you that had it backwards. NEVER open anything you've downloaded until you've had a chance to virus scan it. Save first, virus scan and THEN open. Of course, the chance of a virus in a ".sgu" file is pretty slim.

Thanks David. I;ve been wondering if my computer was going to blow up. Soon after he told me to open first before saving, he left town. Think he was playing with my mind a little?
