>>I use Norton Utilities. NU allows me to chose another drive for my swap file. I don't have another drive, so I haven't explored this feature. If NU can do it, then we know it can be done. Perhaps a registry edit could be the answer. We can see if anyone posts additional information.<<

Maybe I need Norton or maybe I need to get rid of PowerQuest. Don't know if I want to take the time anymore to figure it out...

I've had my swapfile on a second disk forever. This is the first time it's behaved badly. It still works normally as far as I can tell, it's just the dialog box is acting funny.

Yes it's amazing how many flavors and avenues are offered into DOS. For instance from the command prompt mode I can boot to Windows by simply typing "win" at the C-prompt whereas that doesn't work from the A: drive. Also, in the command-prompt mode the "more" function works, whereas booting from my win98 startup disk it doesn't. I think command-prompt mode has xcopy32 whereas the startup disk doesn't. I should probably add some of these things to my startup disk -- no?

OK, I didn't realize you were talking about oranges...

OT: 
Do you call your Commander  ".com"?


Have a nice Sunday,
