That may be overkill. In my ignorance, I have not done that (no CMD files at all), yet I have three versions that I can run: Web Explorer, 0.9.5 and 0.9.6. Each version is run directly from a program object, e.g.: path and filename: D:\MOZILLA096\BIN\MOZILLA.EXE working directory: D:\MOZILLA096\BIN Nothing more. MOZILLA_HOME is defined, and only one copy of the profiles is maintained, but updating JAVA did, as I have said, automatically place a separate copy of the updated plugins file NPOIJ6.DLL in each of the three PLUGINS directories. In other words, npoji6.dll is NOT treated as an element of the profile. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel To send me email, please note that email addressed to "SPAM-FOILER" will not reach me, and will not be read.
