I can only guess you have had some horrendous experience with doing this
that I am not privy to, and that I have never experienced in my
environment.
I would appreciate it if you would expound on your reasons for not using
HTA's, rather than berating me for it.

I've asked you once, nicely, Bill, but still you continue with this
foolishness ;-)
Whether using HTA, or not, disables CTRL-N, it would be inordinately
stupid to advocate that (or removing window chrome) as a reason for
running HTML pages as HTA, in general.
You should only run things as an HTA, because they are a HTA - otherwise
you open yourself to a *huge* security hole.
It may be a quick and easy suggestion to you - but to make such advocacy
in a public forum is quite inappropriate. Take a moment and consider the
implications, and what fundamentally the HTA model provides before
saying anything like this again, especially given the context of what
the original poster asked.
And as you mention it, I *do* develop HTAs as pretty powerful apps -
which is *exactly* why I'm so shocked you should make the suggestions
you have, for the reasons you have.
Please, listers, don't even *consider* running HTML as HTA, *just* for
window chrome reasons, or *just* to disable CTRL-N or other keystrokes.
Neil
