It's not that I don't *trust* you, John. :-)

May be that there is actually no way to get it to work from the command line or from a batch file under Win2k/XP. I remember having read somewhere long time ago that some of these rundll.exe and/or rundll32.exe commands are only working within real program code or visual basic, WSH etc.
I'll check it out and do some additional experiments when my Win2k test box is back.
May be that in the meantime another forum member takes this challenge? ;-))
