Hello Mari, You know, I've looked and looked and never could find it. BUT I just noticed why I could never find it. They put a solid gray bar in the space instead of a gray one with a white interior (I hope you know what I mean). It looked like just another bar that you couldn't put imput in. Well, now I've changed it to what I want. I like to keep things seperate from the programs whenever I can. I save my PSP files, Word files to different directories than then default ones. Anyway, the Eudora Attach folder is buried and hard to get to: C:/program files/Qualcomm/Eudora/Attach now it's just: C:/Eudora Attach Thanks, At 12:37 AM 05/23/2000 -0500, Mari wrote: *************** START OF YOUR ORIGINAL MESSAGE *************** >There is a place in the Eudora options for doing this.

AWK!!! Jack!!! If anyone is using PSP6, there isn't a need for another viewer!! It is in the PSP6 program. Don't remember what PSP5 had, but PSP6 has it already.

I thought you were changing it to something other than "attach". Which to me, is an easy to remember and find one. At least with Eudora, you don't have to second-guess what folder the attachments go into! <g> Mari

There is a place in the Eudora options for doing this. The default is the ATTACH folder. Why do you want to change it? Mari At 12:12 AM 5/23/00 -0400, Glenn G.

Good point! But, as to the using PSP to get the scanner to work, if her problem is the same as what I went through, that won't work either. At least it didn't for me. :( The only way I got it "fixed" was to change the loading at startup. Mari

Yes, Copernic, as much as I love it, is one that will "phone home". Aureate has denied and denied that it's doing anything illegal, but, IMHO, anytime a program sends data from my computer to someone else, it's ILLEGAL! I've used OptOut since it first came out and swear by it. It keeps your system clean of those dreadful Aureate files. SgtGeorge

I recently upgraded from Eudora Pro 3.0 to 4.3 and I haven't been able to get Eudora to remember the password to start the dial-up. Nothing should have changed but something apparently has. I have checked the Save Password option in Options/Checking Mail. It's still checked. And every time I type in the password I check the box to have Eudora remember it. If I am already connected there is no problem. Evidently it remembers that same password to retrieve my mail. Does anyone have a clue what I need to do? Jim

For the benefit of those who may have joined us recently, IF you need a really good graphics program, I recommend Paint Shop Pro (PSP)! It will do things that the $500 and $1000 programs do, but only costs $99 for original registration. After that, when major upgrades come out, the cost is only $39.95. "Major" meaning when they upgrade from, for example, 6.x to 7.x. Intermediate upgrades are always free, that is, from 6.1 to 6.2. Yes it's "pricey" to start with, but if you ever need to work with graphics files, e.g., .jpg, .gif, .bmp, etc., you won't find a better "expert" program on the market. If you pay for it (as opposed to using the shareware version), you also get the "GIF Animator" program. That's a program that allows you to view animated .gif files, and to create them. When you visit a web page and see small graphics that are "animated", they are "animated .gif files". BTW, if anyone needs such animated files, I have literally thousands and would be more than happy to share them.
