A side effect of having to create a Microsoft Account to send an e-mail via a website, and not directly to the hotel, has been the installation - without telling, or even asking me - of something called SkyDrive.

This Devil has now grabbed all my photographs, and insists that anything I "Save as" - .pdf club minutes and the like, are now not sent to "Documents" as I've experienced for the last 30 years or so, but to a "Documents" folder in a sub-folder called "SkyDrive", so all my stuff is now slowly being split between my original "Documents" and "Pictures" and "Downoads" and the new "Documents" etc in the SkyDrive folder, so if I can't find what I want to re-visit in "Documents" or "Pictures", then I have to start again in SkyDrive.

How do I exorcise this SkyDrive Demon from my Life ?

I've considered closing the M/Soft account that I apparently had to open to download the new Win. 8.1 - I've since learned that "maybe" I could have avoided this, had I known how to - but frightened that I will be locked out of the Win 8.1. O.S. and have nothing left ?

SkyDrive has also infested my Picasa photo progamme, and now won't let me send photo's without also creating a SkyDrive Album, putting whatever I send on to the Net for 6 months.

It's enough to send one to a Desert Island ( with ones' own selection of Discs !! )

(Incidentally - the hotel credit card charge was for Internet access !!! that I'd forgotten about, but I settled with cash on departure and think the hotel are barstewards for not presenting my total charges at time of check out, I walked out with a receipted account showing zero balance, then they hit me for the Intenet use the next day. Accor Hotels. )
