(As Raymond says, "you should think of System32 as the somewhat strange name for the 'system DLLs in the same bitness as the application [in this case, OS] that=E2=80=99s running' directory"). (You're right - not really the right place to discuss - was just responding to the evaluative labeling.) Bill
