You might want to explain how to find those ;) I know you can do it in WinXP by typing ipconfig/all from a command line (Start-run-cmd) and looking for the line with the name servers, but win98 uses winipcfg if I recall right. I'm an old DNS admin so I know what you are talking about, but I'll bet lots of people don't know. as for the autostart, create a shortcut where?? does the command line go in a file (autoexec.bat?) win.ini ?? for the service your item#2 didn't work, the command instsrv was not found. I found a link to it ( google search:) here: http://www.pyeung.com/download/nt/ntreskit/instsrv.exe I also put it in windows\system32 and ran the command successfully. I went to start-control panel-administrative task-services and found that mercury was now a service, with an automatic setting. for the part about interacting with the desktop you need to mention that you right-click the mercury line in the services and select the Log-On tab: Open the Services icon within the Windows Control Panel and check the "Allow interact with desktop" checkbox for the Mercury32 service, then try starting it. it started and is set to automatic !!! -- Paul Using The Bat! v1.62/Beta5 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
