I don't much care for this idea. An exe file that changes is likely to fall foul of antiviral software. Why not just store the information in a small ini or xml file in the same directory? |

I tried this out - certainly a great improvement over PixyPro4. However, I couldn't get it to accept the registration code you sent me? |

There may be a way to do this in VDS but it would be much easier to use AutoHotkey, which is a free scripting language with an excellent user forum:
