Hi Bob, just to change the topic slightly(!) I remembered you're a dos C expert from the old days and I wondered if you could offer a suggestion re a problem I'm having. I wrote a great little dos program a few years back, it spends a couple of minutes logging EVERY file on all of your hard drives, then whenever you need to search for a file it can find it in about 0.1 seconds. It works great and I have used it for years, and I have 3 drives and 40,000 files. Being able to find any file instantly is cool and I couldn't live without it. I have been tidying it up to release as freeware for anyone that wants it, and realised that it logs every file but not the c:/windows/progra~ (program files) directory. Any ideas? It's written in Turbo C 3.0 for dos, yes it works fine with other long file/dir names, yes I log ALL file/dir types including hidden and read only attributes etc. It just won't see that one directory...
