Every time that you type an email address or name in the message window of MS-Outlook, it automatically offer you a list of users and email address that you can choose. This feature is known as 'Auto Complete' and Outlook automatically build this emails
list according to user activity and save it into a file with .NK2 extension. In some circumstances, you may need to repair or modify the values appeared in the AutoComplete list, or you may want to remove unwanted email addresses

From this link you can download the down loader to download the Windows 10 ISO file to create a Windows 10 install disk. The DVD needs to be a dual layer DVD. This disk is necessary if you do a backup using the built in Windows 10 backup software.
If you installed Windows 10 over the internet or bought a PC with Windows 10 pre-installed you may not have this disk. You should always back up the complete hard drive in case of virus or hard drive failure. I find the backup

An external drive is best.
However you can create a recovery (DVD) disk with a program that is already in Windows 10 (if you have a DVD writer.) It is found at C:\Windows\System32\recdisc.exe. If you use Windows to create a backup image you can use this disk to reinstall
from the backup. You can find the backup program here: "C:\Windows\System32\sdclt.exe".

Find a station, (You may need to use Google to search the site. Go to Google.com, search site:worldradiomap 'name of online radio station'.) then play it in your browser. OR in the upper right hand of the page there is a link 'Listen with your player'.
