Shouldn't that have been "C:MORE" and not ":C/MORE"? I always use the former, because that way it will always get MORE off the correct disk even if the icon you are clicking upon is on a different disk. Otherwise I need to have copies of MORE scattered about. (In fact, that's one minor annoyance about certain uploads… Icons should always refer either to a specific disk name [ie. "FRED:RUNME"] or a common defined system name [ie. "C:MORE"], or should avoid the volume entirely and reference something solely from the current directory. [ie. "fred/runme"] One should avoid references based on the root directory of the current disk [ie. ":fred/runme"] because there is NO guarentee that the user will decide to unarchive the files at the root or in a specific subdirectory. I know *I* never do…) –>Steve Bennett
