The 'workaround' would be for the installer to set up the shortcuts as 'requires administrator privilege' - no password, no notepad. But that's really a hack. Instead I'm just looking towards moving volatile, configuration things out of c:/Program Files/ into - well that's where I'm stuck. There's no /etc/ or /var/ on win32 ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
