Hi Keith, I did use Windows search and could find only one occurance of the AFL files that I was looking for, ie within C:\program files (x86), which is why this is so puzzling. Having said that, I am not totally familiar with Windows 7 as yet, so may have to experiment a little more with its search function.
Failing which, I give that addictive search engine of your a whirl.
