( I already replied to this, but I'll try again, since it's not
showing up in either group??)
that's great, thx!!
problem is I'm not a programmer, so I don't know what to do with all
that?
I did copy it into notepad, but do I have to run it as a script or
something? how can I set it up so it runs when I trigger the "open
file" dialogue?
I'm not above figuring it out myself, if someone wants to just submit
a basic prohramming link?
thx
fwiw I'm pretty sure it's not a windows configuration issue, I've
looked all over the net and win2k for any reference to this. out of
sheer desperation I figured I'd post to a programming NG, figured
somebody out there would know somewthing about it?
thx again, much appreciated!!
