Bob, please enlighten me: apparently some/all of my replies have
been showing up multiple places but I can assure everyone that I
do NOT cross-post. If the replies are somewhat similar, I may
have given similar advice elsewhere, but a couple of people have
said I am posting identical text to at least 3 NGs. That's news
to me. Usually, Xnews warns me when I am about to reply to
someone who originally cross-posted, but I've not seen that for
this particular thread, not originally, not the middle, and not
where we are now.

I'm not Bob, but just FYI, XNews is apparently not warning you. This thread,
and your reply is cross-posted to

microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics,
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,
and microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support

I don't have all problem with such cross-posting, by the way. As far as I'm
concerned, cross-posting to a few related groups is fine. Cross-posting
mostly got its bad reputation because it's the traditional tool of the
spammer, but the kind of crossposting in this thread clearly isn't spam.
