SameerH kindly sent me a link to a French language version of Kobo Desktop.

Before running the new version he asked me to do the following:

"2. The 'connect your ereader' screen always popping up also needs to be addressed so that you can test that #1 is fixed. To do this, after you install the attached build:
1. Right click on the desktop application icon and go to 'Properties'
2. In the 'Target' field you will see something like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kobo\Kobo.exe" --affiliate Kobo --enable-fte
3. DELETE the part that says "--enable-fte"
4. Click Apply and close the window
5. Start the Kobo app"

I did this - Kobo loaded - my books synced!!!!!

Before replying tonight I thought that I would just load Kobo Desktop again to check all was well.

Before the program loaded a popup told me (in French) that there was a new update. There was no option to skip this and do it at a later stage.

I downloaded and installed the update and the removed the enable-fte text.

Upon starting the program it came up with the old message telling me to connect my bloody device!!!

If I now delete this version and install SameerH's, the next time I run it it will tell me there is a new update.

Thanks to SameerH and everyone else - zero points to Kobo

Have a good Sunday - 11pm on Saturday here in France!
