You can get Windows to boot with certain programs running (in windows or as icons) from within the system.ini file (I believe - if not, then there's another file that does it, but I know it can be done). Hope that helps... _ __ ]_) . ] briang%deadzone@Princeton.EDU <\___...____ ]_) ]~ ] C\ ]\) ]__]. "I don't know why I go to extremes"
