Actually, there are almost no problems and everything works as it should. Things like CVS need special handling becuase they manage internal lists of files, but most apps just open/close things and have no issues. cmd.exe and Windows Explorer handle it just fine. Even Visual Studio works if you make a case sensitive sandbox and start editing with it. Tony
