Hi Darran, Here's a tip for finding the location of programs - or at least those which appear in the Programs list. Highlight the program in the list. Then right click on it and select Properties. Look at the "Target:" field. On my system for Outlook Express this shows as, "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" I have to confess "msimn" not exactly an intuitive name for this program!
