I have no idea.
Please state what it is you would like to accomplish.
I suspect there are better simpler ways to get it done.

I am trying to add my own folder to My Computer like the folders U would
find in this location normally. If U try to add a folder to this location U
will find that U cant. I also want to apply these changes so that other
users with admin rights will not be able to delete this folder so that I can
store daily system logsin the root ot the system. I believe I say this tweak
in some Oreilly boik which I nolonger have access to.

Thx again Mark but this is not quite what I am doing. The link posted deals
with the right click which might fit better in a post I have concerning
"Window's proxy settings" which can be found just below a few posts. There
U will also find one of the keys which stores the info which the program
meantioned in your link most certianlly gets its information from.

Thx Anyhow
