RMH

Many thanks, Toby - that did the trick. (Raises right elbow in liquid salute) RMH

W2k Pro has now without any reason, as far as I can see, lost the INSTALL option on right-clicking an .INF file. It _was_ there previously. I have tried to restore it by using regfiles from another computer to restore the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile] and [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.inf] keys, but that still doesn't do the trick. I have also tried re-installing W2k over the top, but that still doedn't cure the problem. Is there a workaround to this please? RMH ------------------
