   I was a bit sneaky there, inserting that ":".  I didn't want it to be /too/   
   obvious. :-)

   Again, I do *NOT* want to /monitor/ any changes.   
      
   I just want to see the contents of the document I just double-clicked.   
   Thats all.  I asked for it, it needs to happen.   
      
   > These questions were trying to find what your _specific_ problem is.   
      
   In a few words :?  Explicitily asking for something to happen and   
   (silently!) being ignored (which has caused me problems in the past).

   I would already be glad with "I'm not aware of the existance of such a   
   switch" kind of replies - and than possibly /followed/ with suggestions of   
   other approaches.

   Simple: double-click a file, the file gets loaded and displayed.  Rinse and   
   repeat.

   I see I made a mistake in mentioning the program which is the source of the   
   document.  It allowed you to side-track yourself.

   As far as I'm concerned the answer must still be sought in direct connection   
   to wordpad - as it is causing the problem, nothing else.   
      
   Pehaps I will use "taskkill" (or similar mechanisms) for a while and see how   
   I like it.  Might even put something like it in a launcher program.
