I use one of the logging prompts that is apparently (according to the message that comes up on the DOS window when you run xxcopy with it), only normally used by corporate customers. It also goes on to ask me if I would like to pay for a pro licence. Well, I don't - as far as I'm concerned, if that logging switch is a pro only feature, than take the damn thing out of the freeware version and just stop bugging me about it. Anyway, as well as the scripts, I found another way to run the batch file with a delay. Setup a button to run it, and in the more commands field, put in: *Wait for 200 "*Keys (to *windows\system32*)"a *Wait for 200 "*Keys (to *windows\system32*)"a I really like programs like PowerPro that give you more than one way to do things. That way, you can experiment with them all to find out which way you prefer :-) -- Regards, CM ------------------------ Yahoo!
