ATTR F:\GAMES RW As for ActionScripting in the XML, you can't use it in the manner you propose... the next release will be far more flexible in the kinds of things you can do - including launching an actionscript and acting on the XML before it is used. It may be possible to use the AutoExec actionscript to manipulate the menu's XML, though.

Thanks BJ - you are a great help as usual

I am trying to create a font/exploit from a CD

Looks like attr will help me a lot

Another question though

If I have MXM running as a dash and I put in a CD with another MXM
Can I use the CD's MXM to overwrite the mxm.xml and menu.xml files

Sure... the version booted from CD would be running the files local to it, not the ones from the HD.

Plus
Is autoexec run everytime?

Yes. There are several ways this can be done. Adding a script to your MXM.xml with the name "AutoExec" will execute following the "internal" _AutoExec script. Likewise, if MXM finds an AutoExec.xas file in the MXM execution directory, it will run that, too.

Context menus
- can I use this to solve my problems

I don't think so... it's intended to allow the script to have some awareness of the currently selected item, for deleting, renaming, etc...
