If I go to my local home directory, the path is: C:\Documents and Settings\jim.CG242268-B Another example: C:\games\Wolf MP Test\demomain\maps Windows does not use the '/', it uses the '\'. So yes, you have indeed been staring cross eyed at your monitor all these years. Windows will, however, let you type in c:/winnt/system32 into the run box, and it will open an explorer window for you to the system32 folder. However, even if you do this, the path display will say "c:\winnt \system32", not "c:/winnt/system32". try it, it's fun -- ICQ: N/A (temporarily) AIM: FlyersR1 9 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ = m
