Can you run the msc file directly from the command prompt?
What happens if you run MMC from the command prompt?
Have you tried shell(mmc c:\winnt\system32\dfrg.msc)
(assumes Windows 2000 pro)

>Thanks very much the "mmc" bit before the actual path was what i was missing DOH!! Once again thanks
No problem...
The msc extension should be associated with mmc anyway! but I guess its safer not to assume that...
