Perfect!  I'll give that a try soon, but it looks just like what I wanted. 
 I figured there was something like this, but hadn't snooped around yet -- 
this will save me much time.  Thanks!

I'm relatively new to owning a laptop.  Used them for years at work but 
those were bungled with Windoze.  Win7 lived all of about 5m on my Samsung 
before something worthwhile (F17) was installed after which it immediately 
soared in value by a factor of nearly infinity.  :-)
