The only problem being that Windows doesn't know how to handle filenames which are named after 'reserved words.' Try the good old test where you try and copy a file called 'con.' C:\> COPY CON FOO It just won't work because 'CON' is a reserved word, just like LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2, and various others. > because as we all know, there simply isn't > anything administrator can't do. That's extremely debatable :-) How many times have you tried to kill a process in task manager and have it tell you "Access is denied." If an administrator can't kill a process just because the Operating System is stopping him, who says he can do 'anything?' Granted you can always go and get a third party utility which somehow overrides that security Windows has put in place to 'protect itself' but as a Windows Administrator it is frequently frustrating just to find the things you *can't* do. -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.
