Thats fine, but then which version fires up when I say open a .pov file in 
explorer??  Depends on the file association.  I dont want to have to check 
whether its version 3.6 or 3.7b everytime so what if its set to 3.6, then it 
wont use 3.7, if its set to 3.7, then when it runs out, my associations 
break.   Or if I have the association set to 3.6, I have 3.7 open, then 
flick back to windows explorer, double click on a different .pov and it 
opens up in 3.6, not in 3.7, pita.  There are *many* more examples.

All stuff I dont want to waste my (precious) spare time with so hence wont 
use betas that time out.

Cheers Dre
