The only way I know of to do something like that is with the Microsoft Installer (MSI) file APIs. With them, you can register a file to be installed at the next boot, before most of the system gets loaded. That's often the reason for having to reboot after installing an update. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
