You don't need to install it, just place the file anywhere. Otherwise you can go to my tutorials for full details of registry and other places whence startup programs may run, such as Win.ini, Autoexec.bat etc. Don Penlington Free computer tutorials at: http://www.geocities.com/donaldpen/ Also Fractal Galleries, free icons, poetry, and beautiful Queensland beaches.
