Bushi, thanks for the tip, I'll experiment. Hogwarden, I found a utility that will load the python dll that ships with poser 5 so you don't need the full python package. See the url for a zip archive to implement this. I think think that having the stub written in python is better than C or Delphi because then people can alter the python code for the stub and the app with the stock poser installation. I did make file associations (Explorer->Tools->FolderOptions->FileTypes) for some of the extensions, however P3dO Explorer sends all associated files (.png, pz2 and rsr) when you 'open'. My main purpose is to use P3dO in the (un)split associates mode. thanks all. please report any difficulties, edits or suggestions. ken
