In these cases, the following h= euristic is used to evaluate if a file is executable: Files ending in certa= in extensions (.exe, .com, .bat, .btm, .cmd) are assumed to be executable. =20 So the current behavior is not what I expected. =20 Thanks, =20 ...Karl =20 _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail=AE has ever-growing storage!
