You see ? This is what I mean about this damn operating system. It is difficult to navigate, not intuitive by any means and quiet honestly ...even though a free distro... it's a pain in the rear.

I'm dumping this crappy system and moving back to a system that allows 'drag and drop' and will know what to do with an exe.

Tonight I watched a Bogart movie on You Tube after firing up my XP Pro system....guess what, didn't crash, didn't get jerky, clear picture, no drop outs and played over an hour movie faultlessly....unlike the Linux Mint Katya 11.

So don't write me and tell me I'm an idiot for not using Linux...some of us can and some of us don't want to and flaming me for my choice will not make everyone say how wonderful the folk are who use Linux...in fact, it will reinforce the opinion of many who hold Linux in derision.

I like to get in, turn the key and drive...not build the bloody vehicle every time I open the garage door.
........so, I'm done.

I think you should do what makes you happy mate. Best of luck with your new installation.
