Matt - worked a treat -Thanks ...... for any other thickO's (like me) ... Heres a little more info..... .... copy the text starting just before "Regedit4" to the end of "call for atributes...0000..." ..... past it into a blank document created by "notepad" ....(I removed those text arrows that sometimes appear on the left when you cut and paste)....... save on the desktop ..... I saved mine as ... "bin" ..... then doubble clicked and re-opened it and "saved as" and typed "bin.reg" in the file name box......Save. This produces another "Registration Entries" type file on the desktop also called "bin" .... its like a Text file with a bunch of little blue boxes on it... Doubble click this and a message appears to confirm the registry has been updated...... OK.... I then pressed F2 as instructed and thought it had failed ..... nothing changed.....its only when you right click on the "Rubbish Bin" that it becomes apparent that there is now an option to "Rename"...... Rename .... and ...Enter..! Great work Matt ..... can there be any side effects?
