wow, thanks mate, it is the same info i read on unattended webpage, so thank you for "confirming" my thought, i will try again now, hopefully it works. i have to say, that i tried some time ago, around wpi 2.9.5, and i might remember, that it worked that time w/o f2 switch, but anyway, i give it a try now, EDIT: one question still here: this -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\HDD_SG.log" or this -s -f2\"%systemdrive%\\HDD_SG.log\" (backslash before ") thanks alex
