Thank you Jane and Mike for your prompt reply, I will give Mike’s Plugin a go, what has made me so hesitant to go for the plugin is that I have had some real problems recently since upgrading to Windows 8.1. with Parallels Desktop 9 on my MacBookPro, it took 3 Parallels Support Engineers a total of 9 hours by remote sessions to sort the problem out, fortunately they covered the full cost, I am now running Windows 8.1 like Windows 7 style, but with one click can revert back to standard Windows 8.1. having installed from StarDock, Stat8 and ModernMix which I am very pleased with. I will let you know how I get on, hope to do it tomorrow.
