After you get the clean program, you can run it in a simple batch file as follows: - -------------------------- cut here ---------------------------------------- @echo off :retry echo Insert disk to clean in drive A: echo (Press any key to continue or Ctrl-C to quit) pause > nul clean a: [stoned] goto retry - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You should have each user run this with all their disks. I hope this solves your virus problem ! - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary Jason Mathews | gm@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu Columbia University | Death is life's way of telling you you've been fired. - ------------------------+ CPU time flies when you have a lot of bugs
