Well, well, well........ I looked & looked and could not find an
answer to my question above.  Then I post the above for help.
Then I go back and at the bottom of the Task Pane a little thing
pops up at me big time that says "show at start up".

There's my own answer to my own question.  Sorry to bother anyone.
