But I do know that it reads the config the first time and that it looks to be read again, on certain screen reloads, to make the change(s) work. So I would think that it is still set to 'say Winders' when you load a new video even if you have changed the setting but did not do a full refresh. Again? Not sure. Several people here have complained to me about this thread. I did not start it, just tried to help out. I know what the problem is and it is not a Microsoft/CNN plot against Linux. ;-) If you care to carry on please take this to the OT. Or something else. Always enjoy your comments and posts there.
