Hello People, Can anyone tell me of a way to change the CLASS of an object, preferably with Rexx? With a new HD and the original installs copied across, of course their class is lost. I can re-register the class but how to change the object's class to this ? For example, on objects that have changed their Type eg. make the Type of a data file Command File & extn to CMD, go to Properties->Become->select WPCommandFile->Change and it's executable. Can this be done with Rexx to change the SEA .CLASSINFO ? With a folder ? Thanks in advance Cheers, ,-._|\ Bruce Rossi OS/2 Warp 4 for stability, versatility and depth.

When you say "original installs copied across", why would they ever lose their class? Are you cloning a system to a new drive? Did you try zipping the entire drive and unzipping it on the new HD?
