WinCommander is even better! > 73 de Bastiaan, PA3FFZ Hi Bastiaan, So we have established: a) in straight DOS "My Computer" is broken. b) If Arachne is run from a DOS Window in W95 "My Computer" works fine. c) If the W95 Machine is booted into DOS MODE, and Arachne started from the command line, "My Computer" is broken. d) And proberbly of most interest; If the machine is booted into W95 quit to DOS prompt and Arachne started from the command line "My Computer" works fine. It does seem to confirm that post booting into W95, "My Computer" remains under the evil influence, as previously mentioned on the list. 73 Laurie -- Arachne V1.71;UE01, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
