Ahhh, thanks Christof.

"Change the FoxRun.PIF" file as in changing it's properties in explorer? in the program tab, i changed "Cmd line" to "cmd.exe" and it still doesn't work.

And if it did, i guess i'd have to change the FoxRun.pif file at all my installations? hmmmm...i think i'll find another directory to use. I was also having trouble w/the "My Documents" folder, since it has spaces in it and wzUnzip didn't seem to like the spaces...any other ideas for me?

THANKS! J

>When you use the RUN command you launch COMMAND.COM by default. You can switch to CMD.EXE by changing the FOXRUN.PIF file. COMMAND.COM uses C:\Windows\Temp as the temporary directory. As a regular user you don't have write access to this directory.
