This works with shortcuts too. I like to reserve my desktop for documents, so whenever an application installer poops its shortcut onto my desktop I change the name to a terse abbreviation (ie vfp) and stow it in a directory in %path%. That way my apps are a <windows logo key>+R away and I don't have to go hunting through the start menu. dt -- Dave Thayer Denver, CO _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
