Ok LaShay. Evidently you are using Win XP or 2k or NT and that is why your shellnew folder is located in WINNT....I have updated the online version of Vic's article to reflect this information...thanks for the heads up Here's the new version of the article: http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc3/v20/vicr20.htm Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Virtual Executive Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 12:56 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Adding a "New Email Message" option No, there is no formatting problem. I THOUGHT I read two slashes. :-) I rebooted my computer and got the same error message but I see where the problem is: The path in the ABC article is C:\Windows\ShellNew\Blank.msg When I try to hunt for the file after I created it, it is located at C:\WINNT\ShellNew\Blank.msg I will rename the path in the registry editor and see if that does the trick.
