Solved issue where Malwarebytes real-time AV was blocking use of VBScript's RexExp [vbforums]
Added error handling to catch situation where Malwarebytes settings is blocking use of VBScript's RexExp [vbforums]
Added comments to SeleniumVBA ini file for example imperial and metric print page settings [vbforums]
More improvements to Test modules
    -continued to refactor testing code in order to move away from commercial websites and streamline dev testing
    -added file cleanup to each sub that created files
Minor code cleanups
