Peter, << Is it not possible to store a brower indexfile for a CD rom map directory somewhere on the hard disk? >> It is possible. Mark

[disk storage of CD-ROM index using Browser] > Would you also be so kind to tell how? Would be interesting. < 1. Choose Build Index. 2. When the Filename Dialog pops up, immediatly press OK — Don't change anything! 3. A message box stating "Can't create index file" will pop up with a single "Continue" button. Press it. 4. A third message box asking "Would you like to crate a non-resident index file for this directory?" pops up. 5. Press the OK button. 6. When it's done indexing, press the Do Search button to see the thumbnails. Cheers. — James — Choreo Motion —

James: Thanks a lot for that tip. Sounds more like a workaround then a function. Hope I can help you sometime, too. Murat

James, But does not that non-resident index file go away when you exit Browser? SCL

Stephen, The non-resident index remains on the hard disk and is still accessible, so there is no need to re-index the CD (since it isn't going to change). Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
