    Your wauy is o,bnut it will be hardcoded to the cyrent compouter-any others wau, so those app i listed can be run-instead being hardcoded to the current user's computer-say if thet y installed them into otherv directories, that i may not know? So it neerds to workon any system i come actross0but not just restricted ionne pc.

    Get each and every Garfield strip here!
    Here you can get all Calvin & Hobes strips!
    Damn UComics! It was probably unprofitable for them to allow us to just download Garfield and Calving & Hobes strips... so they made folder indexing unallowed on their server!!!

    aafuss: the apps U listed should all work with the names of their executables alone ( I do not know much abt Netscape). The "Shell" function mimics START ---> RUN. So, have a go at
    VB Code:
    1. Shell "Wordpad", vbMaximizedFocus

    2. Shell "IExplore", vbMaximizedFocus

    3. Shell "MSpaint", vbMaximizedFocus

    HTH
