You are welcome. Glad to hear it. You were right, then, to suspect a
Registry entry in the first place, though apparently a blanket copy of
the .bmp data wasn't the cure. They are all a little different. I
suppose that .pcx one is also inside Aumha's Thumnail.zip of a dozen or
so.

| Thanks too for the links. I'll be looking further into those.

| | |

| | |
| | | Can anyone throw some light on this, please?
