Instead of using switch.bat (the file that switches between the debugging and the non-debugging mode of windows), I just copy the relevant files to the SYSTEM directory. This seems to be a lot faster, specially using xcopy. So I have lines like: xcopy c:\windev\debug\*.* c:\windows\system and xcopy c:\windev\nodebug\*.* c:\windows\system This seems to work just fine. What other things are people doing? kartik -- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Research Assistant, (503)346-4408 (msgs) Department of Computer Science, (503)346-3989 (direct) University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1202
