Hi Oliver, Yeah, Magic Folders used to be a favorite program of mine. Only problem (that I knew it used to have -- the problem still might be there, not sure) is that if you used any of the Windows "repair" or maintenance tools on your system, such as defrag or diskscan, you can lose your data. Magic Folders creates a file system on the hard drive that "looks" like lost clusters. Because of this, Windows jumps in and tries to "fix" it for you. Not good! ;-) Byron --- _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
