Dave. Windows Media Center OS, looks just like the set-up that I have at the moment on XP Home? That's fantastic. For some reason I thought that it looked like a different animal entirely. Well if this is the case, then all I would really need to learning is WindowEyes. Yes Dave, I think my mind is made up now. I'll install the WE Demo and start on the Tutorial this evening. Best wishes.
