    Ah... I haven't actually got 7 yet, so I'm not sure.

    In Vista you can specify it by going to Properties/Shortcut, and clicking the "Advanced" button.

    If that doesn't work, try holding the Shift key while right-clicking on the shortcut.

    We are moving ahead somewhat. Right clicking on the shortcut did show the Run as Administrator. Running VB now allows the initial program window to display. However, attempting to open a project causes the Error in Accessing System Registry. How can we resolve this one?

    By the way, do you know whether the Classic Windows theme is supported in Win 7? If not, are there workarounds?
