I thought there was some special precedure to create the icons that would allow me to mount/unmount. Sorry if I didn't communicate very clearly what I was trying to do. I barely know what I'm doing oftentimes, so there's static on my end. ;-) I do know how to create icons, but thanks for the clear explanation. I am using KwikDisk to do my mount/unmount of cdrom and floppy, seems pretty slick so far. All the best. --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."--James Thurber *********************************************** *Reg.
