I think I'll play with this a bit and surely find some "Windows" users to annoy. "What, you cannot read the files? Let me check... tar... bla bla... no, works as intended. Please check your installation and ask your local dealer for the latest 'Windows' update, something's wrong on your side, maybe you have a virus?" Another impolite idea: DialogBox hInstance bla "In order to play this DVD, you need to install an operating systen on your computer. Please delete 'Windows' and replace it with an OS. Thank you. Your system will be shut down now." Ah... autorun.inf and exit_windows_ex() are such modern tools that make the life easier. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
