[DUG] Console app problem on Windows SBS 2003

[Rohit Gupta]

Xander,

I would hazard a guess that it has to do with 
security/permissions/.access rights.  I would further postulate that its 
with the registry or disk/folder/file.  I would suggest some sort of 
registry / file monitoring tool to trace it.  Or even the Event Logs.

P.S. are you the one that twisted my arm many moons ago to give a talk 
to NZ microcomputer society ?
