Hi Ken,

Thanks for the tip.

Just for kicks, I created a shortcut on my NT desktop that referenced my
printer queue.  I then moved the shortcut to my SendTo folder.  Went to
Explorer and sent a file to the printer name in the SendTo list and sure
enough, it printed.

Yea!

Thanks a whole bunch.

Terry
