Excuse me? All I was suggesting is to reword the final setup screen to something like the following: -Create Icon on Desktop for Cygwin Command Prompt -Create Icon on Desktop for Cygwin/XFree86 -Add Icon to Start Menu for Cygwin Command Prompt -Add Icon to Start Menu for Cygwin/XFree86 Then have setup create the shortcuts in the same fasion it does already. Eventually, I'd like to have it gray-out the check boxes for Cygwin/XFree86 if it is not already installed. How is this not data driven? Isn't this what the setup program is for? The last time I checked, most Windows installers handled the shortcut creation. Cheers, Nicholas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
