You rock lshap. This is wonderful information. May I copy it to my note doc and reprint it to help others? You will be given credit of course.

glad it can be of some use. I use this method often, seeming I like to tinker with the os and sometimes make mistakes.

I wonder if this will work with the newer desktop software release 7.0.0.32?

Well done, maybe add a link for users with OS 5.0. And then on the 5.0 guide add a link for users with OS 6.0.
