I'm a little rusty, but I think what you're talking about is that agency that was responsible, among other things, for the Greenbelt community project. I don't think that was until later though.. maybe 2 or three years after their inseption under FDR's friend, (had to look up the name) Tugwell. Don't know how I could have forgotten that one thought... warped sense of humor an all. ;-) They organized poor farmers into group farms. Provided small economical housing, food co-ops, and economical furniture specifically designed to provide the necessities of life that would fit within the small housing units. I'm only most familiar with their furniture enterprises. They designed sample furniture that was produced within a local community, then used government procurement programs to place orders from the community warehouse groups. Possibly "WHG Co."? I dunno, but seems to make some sense. Personally, I think your chair holds a great deal of historical significance. The furniture produced through the warehouse groups were of extremely quality, considering the times, and were highly coveted. I agree with Calliope in every respect, but with one caveat. I would not remove the stenciling from the leg. It's really a great looking chair. Ya done good!! If it were me, I might use a little formby's furniture cleaner to remove some of the accumlated buildup (mostly on the arms), and then a bit of lemon/orange oil on a regular basis to help stabilize the wood oils, but other than that, it's very attractive and deserves to be preserved, IMHO. Gives you goosebumps how some of the most poverty striken areas where completely transformed, not by government "handouts", but simply by a bit of organization and education of their own innate abilities, and by learning to live and work as a community. I don't recall what spinoff agency was responsible... urban resettlement program (?) reutilization group (?) (I could look it up but I'm lazy that way ;-) that Calliope mentioned, but we had family that benefited greatly from the same deal. They took city folk that had never farmed a day in their life, set them up on a piece of land, taught them how to farm or ranch, set up co-ops... good stuff, that!! Makes you wonder a bit these days though why we seem to be incapable of doing the same for our own once again. I digress. lol NICE chair! Here is a link that might be useful: Greenbelt MD History

not sure how much more descriptive I can be. the smyptoms are stated quite clearly above. the add/remove window opens up, the slider at the right is very small indicating a very long list, but beyond the first 4 or 5 programs in the list it's blank. you can move the slider, or click on the down arrow and the slider moves like there are programs in the list, but NOTHING is visible. very odd. I will follow the links provided above and see what I can see. next tuesday, I will be infront of the computer again, and I will post some screen shots. thanks, John

jean, I did that, as I said in my post, and couldn't find some of them, like blockbuster video. damcoy, when I tried to search for them, the computer couldn't find them either. The Search option didn't list desktop programs, so I wasn't sure where to look. It listed, "Pictures, music, or video", "Documents," "All files and folders," and "Computers or People." None seemed to be the one for desktop. I searched "Documents" and "Files and Folders" and came up empty.

I truly believe these people are logging in like they always do with "Admin privileges" It was the first question I asked above, If they have more then 1 account set up that will be presented at boot up and the user has the option to select anyone account, on my computer I have 2 accounts 1 is joe and the other is guest, the joe account has "Admin privileges" meaning I can download & change any setting I want, the guest account does not have "Amin privileges" so nothing can be downloaded or settings changed. All these accounts can be set up in the control panel by selecting "User Accounts" really no need to press f8, these people have been using the computer I am sure and able to download and change settings ect in their chosen account, but now out of the blue they are presented with a restrictions error, this is a sign of a virus, probably (Vundo) The virus places restrictions on the "Control panel" and sometimes the "Registry" just to make it more difficult to get rid of it. It's been common lately, this virus also will generate pop ups telling the user they are infected click here for help and of course if you click on and you shouldn't, it will take you to a website with a product claiming to remove your virus for only $29.00 HOG WASH. Below are the 2 windows Registry keyes the are changed by this nasty devil: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ Control Panel] System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ Control Panel] Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction) I do not suggest any one going into the registry unless you know what you are doing an error will cause problems where you may have to re-install the software, and anyway the virus should be removed with special tools and the help of an expert yes Norton, Macfee, Avg, will not work, I belong to a help site that does this for free, I am currently training to do this work so I am very aware of the virus that are out there.
