Thanks Bob, this seams just the ticket... But now I do feel stupid... Given the obvious name of that file I shouldn't have needed help to find it. I will say that I disagree with a comment found in the autorun.desktop file though... "Comment=Autorun - the CD-ROM mounter for the lazy user" Cause this user is way to lazy to put up with Autorun... Incidentally I disabled desktop icons. (I don't use icons so why should they clutter up my desktop?) so anytime I'd have clicked on one I'm much more likely to have typed a mount command <grin> And yes, If I DID find myself having to manually mount a cd drive every time I used an application program I most certainly would wrap it in a script. (my script names *ARE* my icons...) -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>>
