Every time I close Windows3 with Save enabled, Windows rewrites the program groups into it's own idea of ordering, which is pretty random from my point of view. Is there any way of preventing this ? -- /* * * Otto J.

BTW, if you decide to 'Save Changes', the groups will be ordered by the recency of usage. The most recently used group will be the first in the chain at the beginning of a new Windows session.

Is there any way of preventing this ? You can edit progman.ini using emacs (won't work with notepad). The first part is not text, but the last part is ascii, and you can edit that. I have used it to fix the error which says that a file got corrupted when the group file still exist. The last part lists groups in some order, and by editing that order, you might get them into some order useful to you. kartik -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Department of Computer Science akm@oregon.BITNET University of Oregon
