Hi Mike,

I am not sure about this, but if you have set up your computer to 'hide extensions for known file types', you will not find the file either, if you specify the extension? PIF-files are considered known by Windows. You can be quite sure that you have at least one foxrun.pif on your computer, because the VFP installation automatically creates one in the same directory as your VFP8.exe. (Or VFP6.exe or VFP7.exe...)
