Thanx for the info, I'm still new at this so I've got some reading to do. I did find some helpful info on the mater, a little short on explaining just what everything means though. If you know of any good sources let me know. Is using the RunOnceEx method better than creating cmd.txt? as they sound vary similar I don't get the real difference. Again, thanx iamtheky for pointing me in the right direction.
