Why do you care? 'mount' currently manipulates the registry but it won't come 1.7.0. The use of the registry for 'mount' is an implementation detail. If you're doing something that keys off of this, you may want to rethink your strategy. You may be better off basing your logic on 'mount' as opposed to the keys and values in the registry that 'mount' manipulates. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
