Thanks Phil, RBNUBE, and Tom. Actually I am already doing the above (I save a 
little text file with the path string for the last file saved and it opens 
automatically). 

Actually one of the "features" of my program is that its highly 
transportable. I have the program and a "settings" folder in an overall folder. 
And the 
user can transport that to a thumb drive and take it to home or office. I have 
also noticed, that it makes installation a breeze - even on our high security 
Windows network (1000 users) - it seems that copying the app to the hard disk 
passes under the radar of the security system. Luckily I am not trying to do 
any 
mischief. And if not for this, then no one would be able to install the 
software without having someone from Computer Support there to authorize it. 

So for these reasons I am hesitant to go to an installer - although my 
Windows friends tell me this is standard and looks more professional. What do 
you 
think?

(And I did buy a home Windows machine just for testing and debugging but 
don't have the same network security on it).
