Ah, my apologies Kris, I misunderstood your question. -And, thanks very much for your answer to my own... Just as an FYI, the users in the situation I was talking about needed to configure windows to run the particular app favoring only one of the two cores, as the devs used a security scheme which used a processor ID to identify the machine it was running on, and apparently didn't take into account dual core systems, so each time the computer would boot, it would assign that particular app to start indiscriminately on either core, and the app would see a different ID for the processor, and would have a cow, thinking that it was not running on the same machine all the time and telling the user that it was then not a registered and fully functional copy. ick! go figure... anyway, again, my apologies for the OT and I definitely agree with you on users letting the devs design the functionality into the sw, rather than trying to do it themselves after the fact, though I do understand the motivation behind it... Anyway, blah blah blah! Have a great day!!!...
