I have Win2K Pro with SP3 and pretty much all the updates installed. (What am I saying "pretty much?" I'm compulsive about updating!) OK, I played with this a bit and I think I'm narrowing in on a point of significance.

Otherwise, the path that resulted was not quoted. Randall, is this what you see there?
