    for me it is more times than I care to admit. However I always learn alot when trying things like this. Just because you can do something programmatically. it does NOT mean you should. Today's minor (very minor) fiasco taught me something about a certain software package from Microsoft. It really shouldn't work that way but it does. Oh well backups!

              Ahh yes, good old:

              Remove-Item –path c:\sharepointdata\ –recurse

              works wonders for treating sharepoint installsinfections every time. :-\ PS is there a way to get powershell syntax highlighting?

                      I wish, I was actually doing something as mundane as updating site titles. It should in theory be easy. But those things that work in theory never work in practice. Even when you practice them.

                        I don't know why but I am reminded of men dressed as Greeks playing soccer against a very odd German team. I Kant seem to shake the image!

                            I meant can I get highlighting on the CP forums. [Insert Text Editor Here] doesn't help with that.
