I run Hijaak 95, and once you read anything from the "A" drive, it will forever search the "A" drive trying to find files to update it's catalog with. The catalog turns icons into representations of the file that the icon is for. There is no fix for this problem in HiJaak, they said to buy the new version. -- //=================================================================\\ || cps@bright.net |||| ** Please don't send SPAM my direction ** || || Custom Printing Solutions : http://www.bright.net/~cps || \\=================================================================//
