Re: Expanding folders & files command - gonzo?

Well dean-dean let me tell you - I took 2 days off to very very deeply & quickly get acquainted with
this new toy - rather than waste days and days of struggling and aggro later and not getting my work
done in my SOHO.

So far I have been struggling with accounts and gave up - running as an admin now and shut off UAC.
We'll see about that later.

The commandline I will test later - it worked on a few occasions but other times the folder would
open but NOT sit on top...

Ciao
Maria
