Maybe, but he's not a programmer, so he probably won't think to look in an obscure registry key. I really don't even think he knows what regedit.exe is to be honest. As for the dear abby reply, I'm really not at war with him, I'm just doing this in response to my mother-in-laws request. What he's doing is connecting to the computer and enabling all the archive features of her IM clients and other "spy" related things to see what's she doing on the computer. I really don't agree with that approach because what she's doing is not his buisness, thus why I told her I'd help her out. FWIW, to make this msg on topic, I put the command in this registry hive. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run I added added a new string value called Update1 with a value of REGEDIT /s C:\WINDOWS\ABC.REG I then rebooted the computer and there was no message boxes or anything, so it seems to work fine. Again, thanks for the idea on this. mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
