Are they ever! And did you catch the "replace files in use" feature?

But I think Rob is rolling his own here instead of using the ListView common control (which isn't available on a stock 95 machine AFAIK), so lines might be asking a bit much. But I'd think that at a minimum, simply adding a toggling +/- to the front of each category string wouldn't be too traumatic.
