Thanks for letting me finish your sentence :) The kicker is that these apps all run in an unrestricted environment, and we all know about stuff like Outlook, which is configured to open attachments and run them before the user knows what has happened. But I've been out of the Windows world since 1993, although I do use Windows machines at work sometimes :(. And why are .com files even supported anyway? Those things are holdovers from CP/M, for god's sake. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
