The threads to which Jeri refers seem to all involve either NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, both OS's which I doubt many MudCatters use. A check of my computer shows no existence of any spools.exe file under either WinXP or Vista.

For those of you who have references to the spools.exe file but cannot find it, is "Show hidden files and folders" checked and "Hide protected system files" unchecked under Tools/Folder Options/View? If either of the above ar untrue, this may be the reason for the file not showing.

Ma Microsoft recommends against the above settings but I want to see ALL my files when I do a directory listing so I reject her maternalism. Just be careful not to delete any critical files if you use these settings.
