Probably the most pragmatic thing to do is simply make a .html page with a hyperlink to each file. Have the guy open the file in IE and just click three or four links at a time, till he has them all. That's more of the "Windows way of doing it" -- worker harder not smarter. The visited hyperlinks will a different color so he won't be confused. And you won't be asking him to do something he doesn't understand. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
