If it's not installed, you can't have installed any services, unless you've subsequently uninstalled 'cygrunsrv'. I think you would have remembered that though. ;-) If not and you need to know that someone hasn't sneaked a service in there on you, install 'cygrunsrv' and perform the listing. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
