Shawn,

I missed that note. After seeing that the Users directory was set to Music
Files and changing it to All Files (and applying it to all folders), I now
have the ability to "customize" the Program Files directory in all of the
ways I should have. I don't know how it happened in the first place (and
then what blocked the normal tools), but I'll be at the Vistax64 website for
any more of these issues that come up. I appreciate your fast and helpful
replies.

I hate to post to these groups, but sometimes you'll get someone who changes
your opinion about this.

Thanks again!
