Thanks for the info. I could sware I used that in the past and somewhere along the line the file/path changed between vesions. I have all kinds of versions so I needed a more foolproof way. But now that I look at an old version and a new version they both seem to be using that file. back to my old Nightmare I guess.

However, your also right in that I should have gotten the folder closer using a Registry read, but on my English version of Windows 2000 I don't have any of those values in HKCU, but they do exist in HKLM
Please let me know if HKLM does not have these same values in your Danish version. I would use HKLM if they exist since HKCU does not have them for me. What about the NAV folders? Are they in English once you get that far?
