'setup.exe' is ever so stubborn about this. We've tried talking to it and cajoling it. We've even grounded it at times for doing this. Nothing seems to work. We had planned to send it to a summer boot-camp for dastardly and defiant setup programs but the weather was so bad it got canceled. Anyone want to start a fund so we can send 'setup.exe' to a good psychologist to cure this anti-social behavior? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
