After the changes were made through CL, I took a peek in MCC to see what it says now. To my surprise, both "user" and "noauto" are now enabled, with supermount being disabled. Does this make any sense? I had great results using MCC when I first installed 9.0, but, for some reason it has been misbehaving of late. I am a little more comfortable using CL for doing things now though. MCC is very convenient when it works. I am getting wary of it now. I have set up KwikDisk to mount/unmount cdrom and floppy. It is pretty slick. You can set it to automatically open file manager on mount. I don't think I need any desktop icons with this setup. Keeps the desktop cleaner. :-) Thanks so much for your reply. All the best. --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."--James Thurber *********************************************** *Reg.
