Thank you for coming back to say it worked. I saw this thread
yesterday and thought I understood you wanted to change same thing I
did. I found those same instructions but missed that "minor detail"
about clicking on "Window Buttons". Just tried it again, and mine's
now fixed, too.

Feels like old times on this desktop.. Very happy! I don't know why
it's easier for my brain to pick what it needs from that mess of
buttons strewn across the top, but it is (much easier). The "never
group" option has the added bonus of being a constant nag that browser
windows need archived and closed, permanently if not sooner. :)

Cindy :)
