This doesn't really have anything to do with this thread, but i'd like to 
make this comment: =PLEASE= don't use the (apparently) standard directory 
selcetion dialog in windows if you can avoid it. It can be truly 
aggrivating when you know exactly how to type your way there, but -have- to 
use the box... and on a reasonably crowded file system, this means 'open 
node, scroll down, open node, scroll down' repeat-until-insane. 

Ok, enough random ranting =)
