Hey Bartc

I'm sorry about getting you confused, I did try that, but it didn't work, maybe it was me, but now I've tried it again it does work.

I've now managed to get the file to be created and write to the file so its all working fine.

The only question left is when I've conducted a search through all the drives for a browser .exe file, how do I take the search results and put them in to a text file, but I guess that's for another thread.
