Michael, good suggestions. And nope not using Autocad. If I were wouldn't the .scr files launch Autocad instead of the SS ?
I was wondering if this was a windows security issue so that you couldn't execute a .scr file that arrived in an email. I know we block all inbound .scrs because they have low level privledges in most systems and can contain trojans or viruses.
I also thought it might be a rights issue but I am and administrator on this workstation so that couldn't be the problem.
This is no big deal and didn't want anyone to spend a lot of time on this one. It's just that it is one of those simple things that you scratch your head over and think "this can't be that complicated".
