Which is why you never install anything in the ...\program files\.... branch anymore. I've seen quite a few IT groups start standardizing on creating a completely separate folder branch for installing applications (e.g. ..\company_apps\... or ...\direct_apps\...). It seems more and more folks are beginning to ignore MS edicts. This is a GOOD thing. :-) -Charlie _______________________________________________ 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.
