You have a herd of choices. One is to specify the full path in the command line. Another is to put that directory on the path. Still another is to use 4dos and have an alias that completes the path - logically the same as specifying the full path, but you don't have to remember anything.. Yet another is to put a one line .bat file somewhere that is on the path to launch the application. Again, logically the same thing. If your aim is to have a clickable desktop icon then you simply set the appropriate properties, which again is the same thing with an intrinsically broken interface. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer AT yahoo DOT com) (cbfalconer AT XXXXworldnet DOT att DOT net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems.
