Ok, Now there are two of us..... (good, I am not crazy) Now, what are Tony and I doing different from Richard and Bernie? Also, I renamed it to ftpstart.com, and get the same results, as do I if I run it as ftpstart.exe, or without the extension at all... Launch ftpstart opens my browser with an error message. I tried changing null, and quotes settings, but this had no effect.
