[Skimmertalk] CW Skimmer v1.5 and Super Check Partial Filtering

Thank you to Pete and Jeff for their quick responses.

For others, I removed 1.5 through the Control Panel and then ran the 
version 1.4 setup.exe.  Everything went smoothly and all the settings 
etc. were retained.

But I do miss the auto start feature in 1.5
