    Where do you think Code Project would be today if it wasn't for the member polls and demographic information collected from the members? (All of which require registration) Yes, but CP doesn't require you to register in order to read the articles. Registration gets you added value. Now, on Download, you get nothing without registration. That's a large difference. Guess it is time to open your eyes. There is no such thing as "free" anything. Someone, somewhere, has to foot the bill. My copy of emacs and I disagree. :-) Tim Lesher http://www.lesher.ws

        I noticed that too but I managed to get around it. Just disable cookies when you visit download.com. I think they check to see how often you visit the site and ask you to "register" after a certain number of visits. Alternately, you could just delete the cookie after each visit - but that's a pain. Temporarily disabling cookies is really easy if you use something like GuideScope.

              nobody@aol.com could be a vaild email address, so watch out with that one. The best one to use is something like host@localhost or if they require a "period" in the address, use host@127.0.0.1. That way they get the email sent straight back to them!

                          Sometimes you cannot use a dummy email address as they'll mail you a confirmation code. So first create a dummy hotmail address just for this purpose. Hotmail accounts get spammed 2 months after signing up anyway, so you wont be adding too much to it :-) Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut
