For the E17 desktop go to Settings - Settings Panel, maximise the resulting window. Look for Files, select File Manager and click on Behaviour tab, adjust to your liking, then select Hal tab and do the same. -- rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
