Hi,
First, a most sincere thanks for all the previous help over the years.
Am 84 now, and it sure doesn't seem to get any easier.
Have a desktop Mac, and running Mojave.
Made the biggest mistake with a pc that I have ever made when I tried to update all my "stuff" on iCloud.
Guess it was backing up all these years without my knowing it, and then the storage ran out, and they wanted a few $ more per month.
Figured it was worth it, although I'm pretty good about backing up to USB Memory Sticks periodically - Thank Goodness.
The iCloud program, instructions, interface, etc., in my humble opinion
is a totally mess, and certainly not user friendly.
Totally messed up most everything on my pc.
Am now trying to resurrect items.
Initial question are the icons that now show for the WORD documents I have.
It's a pix of a Lock icon, and underneath is says DOCX and some say XLSX.
Even when I back up from the Memory sticks, these are what appears.
Never had before.
What are they please, and is there any way to have the WORD documents icon as before, with the simple icon, and
perhaps also requesting a password ? But not these (new) Lock icons on everything. Will drive the wife crazy.
Thanks,
Bob
