Here's my current winboard.ini file (the bottom of it) I've just weeded quite a few programs out. Very often I've used a dot in the middle of my directory names, an example, the directory of c:\crafty16.6w But that's just a result of keeping file and directory names down to 8 characters, so don't let that confuse you. In my winboard.ini file, I use 2 different styles, when I have command line parameters it looks like this: \"Phalanx -t8960 -r900\" /fd=c:\\Phalanx but if I didn't it would have looked like this: Phalanx /fd=\"C:\\phalanx And note the differnce between 1st and 2nd programs, where the 1st programs have the line fd= but the 2nd programs have the line sd= Hope all that helps Pete " /firstChessProgramNames="wCrafty-16_6 /fd=\"C:\\crafty16.6w wCrafty-16_11 /fd=\"C:\\crafty16.11w \"Gromit20 -xboardquiet\" /fd=c:\\gromit-w.ccc \"Phalanx -t8960 -r900\" /fd=c:\\Phalanx Fortress /fd=\"C:\\fort-css Comet-wb /fd=\"C:\\comet \"Exchess hash 8\" /fd=c:\\exchess.wb \"Inmi216\" /fd=c:\\inmi3 \"AnMon426 xboard\" /fd=c:\\AnMon426 \"Bringer /winboard\" /fd=c:\\bringer2 LGol2000 /fd=\"C:\\lgol2002 \"Arasanx -H 8000\" /fd=c:\\uninstal\\arasan \"faile -xboard\" /fd=c:\\faileche.ss \"Tristram wb hash=8m\" /fd=c:\\tristram Zchess /fd=\"C:\\zchess SSEchess /fd=\"C:\\ssechess \"newrival -winboard 10000 -info\" /fd=\"c:\\uninstal\\Rival Pierre14 /fd=\"C:\\pierre Pierre17 /fd=\"C:\\pierre1.7 Skaki /fd=\"C:\\skaki GNUChess " /secondChessProgramNames="wCrafty-16_6 /sd=\"C:\\crafty16.6w wCrafty-16_11 /sd=\"C:\\crafty16.11w \"Gromit20 -xboardquiet\" /sd=c:\\gromit-w.ccc \"Phalanx -t8960 -r900\" /sd=c:\\Phalanx Fortress /sd=\"C:\\fort-css Comet-wb /sd=\"C:\\comet \"Exchess hash 8\" /sd=c:\\exchess.wb \"Inmi216\" /sd=c:\\inmi3 \"AnMon426 xboard\" /sd=c:\\AnMon426 \"Bringer /winboard\" /sd=c:\\bringer2 LGol2000 /sd=\"C:\\lgol2002 \"Arasanx -H 8000\" /sd=c:\\uninstal\\arasan \"faile -xboard\" /sd=c:\\faileche.ss \"Tristram wb hash=8m\" /sd=c:\\tristram Zchess /sd=\"C:\\zchess SSEchess /sd=\"C:\\ssechess \"newrival -winboard 10000 -info\" /sd=\"c:\\uninstal\\Rival Pierre14 /sd=\"C:\\pierre Pierre17 /sd=\"C:\\pierre1.7 Skaki /sd=\"C:\\skaki GNUChess "
