Ahh ;-) Thanks for the click to http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs106/bla.bat. Yes, it might be neccessary to confirm, but I think this is much easier done, tired Joes in the night, surfing all day long, not knowing what they do, that writing such a silly batch file. Everybody knows, that you cant dry a poodle in microwave, but... What makes me upset, is that MS uses extensions in the web at all. Extensions are nice on the desktop, but in the web, there is MIME. The batchfile should display as text. See http://intra.b.lab.net/~uzs106 . You can display video files in audio filelists but not video in video filelists, with MS, can you ? No new MIME types, that can simply be installed with Netscape and the MS WMP. This sounds like artificial restriction. H.
