rharv, I (finally) take your point about router security, and no, I failed to check that. It is buried behind the PC in a cramped cabinet and is difficult to see. (I've handled the hardware, and don't recall whether there IS a router, or just a modem.) I'll make a point to visit soon and see.

Eddie, early in my journey I learned how to change file dates. It's not difficult.

Team Viewer requires a password with changes every session, UNLESS it is configured to remain the same. This is useful if, as I did, one wishes to access one's own computer(s) remotely. It's also the first thing I'd do if I was a bad guy. (As a PC tech, I, with the customers' knowledge, would install Team Viewer for future access. I considered using the static access code in case someone got hinky about paying, but never did. I'm strictly a white hat kinda guy.)
