It's probably a registry entry. Possibly something to do with a "ShellEx" key? It could just be that you need to tell Windows to treat .pl files as .exe files. If you can't figure that out, you could create a "Send To" item which will appear in the "Send To" submenu of any Explorer context menu. That way you can send selected files to your Perl application. That's as simple as creating a shortcut in the "SendTo" folder. Marcus
