I had become a little gun-shy regarding installing Win progs in directories other than their "defaults",

Yep, ive found this is true on occasion as well. More with office than with VDS though. Ive quite happily run VDS off of x:\VDS for a long time. :-)

. I see that there's lots of other usefull looking things/information there as well.

I have to admit that was the main reason I pointed you there. Lots of good stuff to fill just this kind of gap. I think of it as the "windowy unix toolkit for windows" (especially pstools) :-) Anyway. Cheers.
