If I right-click on an executable program (like a DOS batch file) that resides on a samba share and set properties like "full screen", that property is remembered on the machine with which I made the change. However, if I go to another machine and run that file, it uses the default properties. Doing a right-click from the other machine and viewing the properties also shows all the defaults. - Is there a way to set network-wide properties for a file? - Where does Win98 store my properties locally if not on the network? - Is there any way to force a batch file to run full-screen? (I tried "start" from within another batch file but that can only do a "maximized" window, not full-screen.) Thanks!

Did you try to create a PIF file with all the settings?

I went looking all over for a Win98 "pif" editor without ever realizing that creating a shortcut actually created one of those files. <sigh> Thanks! I'm still curious where my machine stores the information when I adjust the properties on the batch file directly. It is persistant and I don't see any other files created. I haven't tried rebooting... perhaps it's memory-resident only. Brian ( bcwhite@precidia.com ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do, or do not.
