Sure it may be a slight pain to have a large number of conf files in /etc, but when the registry gets damaged under Windows, that's it - you're knackered. You also have the additional problem of having things infecting the registry (such as malware/spyware hooks) which then proceed to infect not just their own entries, but lots of other places to ensure the replication. This has to be one of the best reasons there ever could be *not* to have a single file registry. Linux is strong due to the disparate config files which doesn't allow for such infections. Also you don't have very confusing keys which no-one understands! TTFN Paul -- "Look. If you had one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted.
