More to talk with Billy about if I ever get a chance. Besides, Autorun.ini will not accept a path, relative or otherwise, either. The file to be opened must be in the root directory with autorun. <snip> _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
