G'day Sean, if you get a resource editor like EXESCOPE [winfiles.com] you can disable it in the Shell32.dll file, it is dialog box #1064 and you just select the text [string] and check the 'disable' button and uncheck the 'visable' button and then select from the menu bar to 'test it, you may aslo have to drag the dialog window into view if your display is set to 680x400 or else you won't see the buttons.
NOTE- you cannot modify the file when it is in use, [it always is] but you can modify a copy and replace it back through Dos and also put a backup copy somewhere safe as well.
