Thanks for your input, Howard. In the end, I really didn't have a need. It was more of a challenge spurred on by that other thread.

BRRR! I just got the heebee jeebees... me programming for the fun of it... goes against my very lazy nature. I've always held myself to the principle that the work a program saves has to be greater than the effort to program it. What was I thinking?

Actually, it was Shawn's fault. He goaded me into it.

My entire logon script is only around 500 lines and most of that is to automate software installs.
