It depends on the version of Windows. I think NT4 had something stupid like 80 characters. Microsoft keeps making it bigger with each successive release. You'd think they'd take the hint and use dynamic allocation, but.... ~shrug~ http://catb.org/jargon/html/C/C-Programmers-Disease.html > ... isn't it smart enough to automatically scan subfolders?

Basically no more folder structure, everything runs from root folder. You can do that, and sometimes it even works. However, sometimes different drivers include a file of the same name but different contents, so everything-in-one-folder doesn't always work. Also, one occasionally runs into situations where certain hardware needs certain drivers/revisions, or is allergic to same. By using different folders for each driver, one can just specify different "answer files" and use one driver distribution tree. If you're targeting a single machine type, these are less of a concern. But for our RIS tree, it's a big help. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
