Hi :) Wow! If there was some way of saving the User Profile of a perfect set-up and then uploading that to the Extensions website then it might help a lot of people get idealised set-ups quite quickly. There was something about using an xcu file so that all users of a Windows machine would start with the same basic set-up but despite people trying to help me with it i never got around to implementing it. Regards from Tom :)
