The only issue I have with OneDrive is that it seems to have taken over my PC. I deleted two folders in OneDrive, "Documents and MS Visual Basic," so when I went to open a doc file they were gone!!!!! Oops, looking in my recent backup disk I noticed my documents were all going to OneDrive. I did not knowingly put them in OneDrive nor would I have if I knew MS fixed Windows to do so. Maybe Windows 11 changed how I stored files or something. Anyway, I copied my documents and MS VB folders from backup to C: drive and now I'm happy. Where did I go worng?????

Hum, somehow I messed up my old Winword 2003 pathing so it locks up with the file list hung. Oh well, will have to purge it and reinstall it later. My eyes are tired!

Not sure how it fixed itself but after running “Free Window Registry Repair” both Excel and WinWord (Office 2003) started opening the file dialog box and all is well! I did some other things off the top of my head, many years of guessing and hitting the wrong keys, but not sure what did it. Sometimes guessing (shot gunning software) works. :oops:

The original problem I have forgotten what it actually was, just got to involved in the cure, and got lost as usual. Not to worry, I did this for a living for 62 years! :p The problem was when attempting to open the file dialog window it froze up forever and I had to use task manager to stop it.
