BrewManNH 1,304 Posted November 2, 2012 Where is it adding the double quotes, and what error are you getting when you try to run the program using the shortcut? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
