If it's launching an app off of a particular volume, following desktop rebuild it will still launch the app off that volume although it may not be the same version of the app. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
