I believe I get it now! I put those 2 statements into the [global] section 
(using my own logon path) and the logon procedure as wellas the logout went 
MUCH faster and did not show the window with files being copied. Thank you 
to all.... Now I just have to figure out how to tell Eudora and the other 
programs how to find the files if I move them out of my 'profiles' 
directories :-)
