Seaman CRL I did this once. (shorten directory names) Boy what a pain... Unless you want to spend a couple of hours changing every c:\windows line to c:\win in all the ini files and for many icons in various groups, leave the windows directory alone.... In my case, (I'm really not very bright...) I actually changed it back to c:\windows at some later date. Don't remember why. Guess I was just bored one day. I've even been known to reformat my hard disk and restore everything from floppy backups just for something to do... Guess I should really get a hobby... Maybe I'll play with FDISK today, just for something to do! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Barry Burnett (Zilbandy) Tucson, Arizona USA zil@azstarnet.com Windows 95!... from the same people who brought you EDLIN! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
