    That certainly looks simpler than my line of thought, although I 
dunno whether it will work. I just checked (forgot I had XP on my 
desktop machine) and don't have an "=" in menu.lst. Still, it can't hurt 
and just might work.

    The link seems to refer to Vista which is probably a different 
kettle of fish. I know bugger all about the differences betwixt the pair 
so I don't know why they'd suggest an "=" for Vista and not for XP. 
However if it works then who am I to question the facts?

See ya
Ken
