Hi Jody, I'm afraid my patching skills are limited to bicycle tires, and maybe jeans with torn out knees on a good day.
I believe I also log in as an administrator, as most people do with Windows XP, whether they mean to or not. When I replace the Udig installed shortcut with my own, I just right-click on the Udig executable and 'create shortcut', and place this in the Udig folder in the Start menu. My shortcut doesn't have the command line arguements that the installed shortcut has, however Udig functions fine for me. Thanks, Ken Lord Vancouver BC _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel
