| | What is the difference between c:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86)? If the later is for 64-bit programs, I don't see why it matters which go in which folders. In fact, I find it rather confusing because I have programs in both and never seem to know which folder to look in. ------- Will Pittenger [will 6 8 at mtco dot com] (preferred e-mail address) Or use [will dot pittenger 1 at gmail dot com] |
