Well you are correct except that if I do that then Shredder thinks it is now
Fritz 7 !  I don't understand why Chessbase did this.  I am supposed to have two
different programs.  In fact if I right click on the icon and click properties
it has the correct path to the correct ChessProgram7.  Each one is in it's own
directory so why is it when I select an engine/book in say Fritz 7 and then
startup Shredder 6 it is now running that engine/book.  In other words it's as
if I only have one program.  If they were going to do that then why didn't they
just install the second program as an engine/book and leave just one GUI on the
computer?  Effectively I have two programs but only one is functional.  I prefer
to have one icon say Fritz 7 and have Fritz 7 show up when I click on it and the
same for Shredder 6.
