Jonas, Let me recap this for you. 1. When I edited the 3ds.set file by removing the ";" which precedes the MAP-PATH="z:\xxxxxx" and replaced the z with my CD-ROM drive (J:\), save my changes, type 3ds to start my 3ds program I would get the message "Path J:\xxxxx does not exist, using default" for each MAP-PATH so treated. 2. At your suggestion I created a 3ds.BAT file in my 3ds4 directory. That had no effect and the J:\ drive was still not recognized. 3. When I do a F10 then dir J:\maps\xxxxx I get the appropriate scroll of the requested directory. 4. When I am in the Materials editor I can create a path to any of the Map files, but I assume that if I have my 3ds.set file properly set up that access to these Maps is more direct. Sorry for all the hassle but this is all a new experience for me and I am at a loss to sort it out without some guidance. Thanks, Paul
