To edit a file all I have to do is right-click, click "Send To", and click NotePad. Takes no time at all. Or, if you have UltraEdit (hex viewer/text editor), all you have to do is right-click any file and click "UltraEdit-32". Granted, UltraEdit doesn't come with Windows, but then, NC doesn't come with DOS either. -- http://www.ite.mh.se/~joaal98/ascii ___ __ _ _ _ ________ _ / \\\ Windows is \ \| `.| `.| `\ \ \ \ `.' \ [.[.]-\\ , fast, man. \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ _, \ /_ /|/ /\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (jg) {~} |= <- keeping a \__/`._|\_\_\_,_\__|\_\_\ \_\ #// (\ straight face
