       AND it would do the same with *.inc files too! Very strange.

    No, you've helped a big deal Bob, thanks. I've now got *.ini's and 
*.inc's opening in notepad, and not PoV. The I/O box has disappeared too. :)

      Very strange though. I can promise you that I didn't change anything 
before or after the crash and I'm sure *ini's and *.inc's used to open in 
notepad anyway. Yes, positive about that.

    Oh, and when I checked pvengine.ini, it showed "IO restrictions=2", 
which I changed to '0'. Hmm...

    Thanks again. :o)
