Thank you Steven. Your explanations reflect experience and knowledge.
Actually, I am the administrator, but didn't expect the warning. However,
since then, I have had occasion to turn on my computer for the fifth time
and I don't see any of that (userenv) repeating in the Events Viewer.
Thanks for the extra cushion (the Microsoft web pages for hive cleanup)
which I will set aside for possible troubleshooting. Thank you for your
patience.
