hi pw great testing and info you provided! win2000 handles system files differently. you can't delete them, accidently or otherwise. now i don't have all the particulars on that, for instance, maybe only admins can be permissioned to play with system files, but not users. i'm unclear at this moment what the specifics are. perhaps someone else will chime in. but i recall reading that w2k changed the way system files were handled so improper deletions will not occur. the question then arises, of course, what happens when a virus forces you to delete a system file. i guess i should have researched this a bit more prior to posting it. :) mark
