I have many 0-byte VDM*.TMP files in the DB main directory. I'm
wondering if those files are created during the times I ran DB from
within Windows 10 just to keep that system updated.

Win10 and DB is a bad marriage I think.
You're right. Win10 is buggier than Maine in June. Just for fun the
other day, I setup my email client program (Outlook 2016), but it
wouldn't let me in unless I signed up for Facebook. I'll have to talk to the Help Desk about this. Seeing no way around it, I made an
ungentlemanly gesture at the monitor and dual-booted back to Win7.
Have had too many issues with Outlook. Won't touch it anymore withanything
smaller than a 10-foot Pole ... :-)

Yes. This is a Windows issue. You may create an automatic event to DEL /S VDM*.TMP files.

In the past, Outlook would delete the mail from the server upon downloading, but it quit doing that, which forces me to logon to the
server and do it manually.
Of course, I could go back to what Steve Quarella and I
nicknamed "Lookout Express" to see if that solves the problem, but something tells me it won't.

Even in the Outlook-2000 version this could be parametered ... I know ,,,
I did it.
Steve Querella ... yewww ... he came to Belgium once, had to be in my
home town on a work assignment and I took him to dinner.
That was really a nice old-style Fido sysop. I liked him.
Yes. This is a Windows issue. You may create an automatic event to DEL /S VDM*.TMP files.
I thought it created those files in Win10, but it doesn't.
I haven't run DEL /S since the late 90s. (-:

D'Bridge should not be leaving behind any $P2 files.
If there is a DBRIDGE.XMA file, what are its contents?

Microsoft is trying to drag everyone to the cloud, pushing and screaming. They would like nothing more than the next Windows be tied completely to the cloud and subscription. That will spell the end to them owning the desktop.

When people discover what a cloud really is, they'll avoid it like the plague.

If they have a brain ...
If they can be turned into zombies and high as if they were on crack, they'll go for it.
Yups ... no cloud for me ... I'll do something as bad as ... OMG ...
Linux.
The thing is though, there is no OS ready to take over that ownership of the desktop if M$ went the cloud-route. Apple? A big maybe... but Chromebooks and Linux are out of the question.
I should have paid attention to the alarm going off in my head when it (Win10) was offered to me FREE.

It will be refreshing when the desktop OS no longer holds people
hostage.
Eons ago, when I was president of our local computer club, which

I remember those times pretty well. There were far more hardware
options for personal computers along with operating systems to go
along with them.
The computer crowd that I was around back in that era didn't care
as much what type of system being used. Very diverse systems at
the time - you name it - I knew someone with it.
Went from 286 to 386, 486, Pentium, etc..etc.. Bottom line is they
are all technology and do cool things. That is what I enjoy..
I started with a Commodore Vic-20 (which I won in a Mother's Day essaycont
when I was 11 years old). It sat in my closet for months before I even decided to check it out. I had no interest in computers before winningit.
One rainy day I broke it out of the box and toyed around with it. Therest
was history.
About a year or two later, I bought an Apple //c brand new for $1000. Iha
several Apple systems until I was around 17 years old and sold all of the Apples and purchased a monster tower 286-12 system for $2000. I sold (2) Apple //c systems and a //gs. I never forgave Apple for dumping the //lin
Thank you fpr taking my comment in the spirit in thich it was intended, I was, of course, referring to the egos of those particular Apple owners.
Who could blame them? I mean they shelled out a good bit of coin for a machine that would run circles around what I owned. And yet, they wanted
me as presidemt. Must have been the free spaghetti dinners I hosted at
our monthly meetings. (-:
I forgot to mention the Heath-Zenith crowd that didn't attend our
meetings, so I went to one of theirs.
I skipped past the 386 and went from 286 to 486. Fond memories from that time because I was running first OS/2 2.1, then 2.11 and finally Warp 3.
I have Warp 4, but it won't install on this machine.
The Vic 20 was really an underappreciated system for what it could do, if it was expanded to at least 8 or 16k.
I *loved* the Apple // for the longest time, up until I got a Tandy 1000.
I forgot to mention the Heath-Zenith crowd that didn't attend our
meetings, so I went to one of theirs.
I owned (and still have) several Heathkit Weather Stations that I
built from kit form in that same era.
I remember Apple // ProDOS. Similar in ways to the PC's DOS.
Started on DOS 3.3 on the PC, up through 5.0.. Remember Stacker?
Then off to Windows 3.1, NT 4, all the OS/2's and Windows Server
versions ever since.
Who would have thought that I would eventually have the ability to
run countless operating systems on the same physical server. I
currently have (24) VMs running on my home ESXi cluster.
Everything from CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows 7, 10, and 2008 R2
+ 2016 server. All on the same system with plenty of room for
growth..
I have all of that (I think) except the server edition and once had
Windows 3.11 before the storm of 2005 took them away. You didn't have Windows 3.11?

It would be easier for me to list operating systems that I have
never loaded. Here are a few that come to mind: Windows ME and
Windows 8.
I think I have them all excep 8 and 8.1. I told a friend of mine who was griping anout 8 that M$ should have furnished everone woth a touch
screen. (-:
Yeah, M$ was trying to make a single user experience from desktop/tablet/phone. It failed miserably. So bad, they had to
give Windows 10 away for free to keep desktop people from bailing.
Android/Apple still own the tablet and phone platforms. M$ has
tried multiple times to get market share in the phone area.
Windows CE comes to mind.
All are history at this point. I still say if M$ forces people and companies to the cloud on their next OS (if there is one), they
will no longer own the desktop.
I think what is happening is that they are listening to themselves and
not the
users.
