>Teach me to play around... I added a DOS prompt command to the File >Folder file type Will, I also did this but I added it to the Folder type. Looking now I see only "find" against File folder, and against "Folder", open, explore, explore from here and DOS window here (I added the last two - but there is also an MS power toy that does these. You may want to download that instead). My "DOS" action is "C:\WINDOWS\DOSPRMPT.PIF", and it works well enough. (I just get a message "Specified COMMAND search directory bad". I can live with that.) So I suggest you delete everything except "find" under "File folder" and put your new actions under "Folder". From your post it looked as though you haven't tried this - sorry if you have. Joe >
