Amro - this doesn't work, the target is set to pthe desk top, and although I've
put
the msimn.exe file on there [or a coy of it] when I click on it to open, I get
the
warning message sound, indicating that something is wrong, and the file won't
open.
Originally, when it was set as the target, I deleted it from the target box [a
long
story now] and although it is still visible in the actual programme folder for
OE,
it doesn't open when I click on it on the desk top. And as I have already
written in
aother message, the path to programmes from documents and settings\andy\start
menu,
hasn't got an entry for OE!
