That is not doing what the OP is expecting; and could cause mysterious problems. Rather than simply modifying the current session's environment; it makes persistent changes to the system registry. Which is fine if that is the intent; but dangerous if not. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :) In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
