Hi Dennis, Perhaps, it's all to do with the working folder assigned to the program you run.
When you run "c:\Java\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\bin\startup.bat" from the windows explorer, the working directory becomes, "c:\Java\jakarta-tomcat- 4.0.1\bin\" When you run the shortcut, the working directory becomes the desktop directory ! I dont have a win2K system right now, but this folder should be either your "personal" folder, or your "profile" folder. Solution. Go to the shortcut, and give "c:\Java\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\bin\" as the working folder. Regards, Sriram 1/9/02 9:07:30 PM, "Dennis Bowden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I run under Windows 2000.
