Thanks Susan for you feedback!

I am not responding from a server either. But you can cut and paste from
MSTSC session. Often I try my posts to verify them before sending the
information.

One note of interest. The WINNT directory is specific to the install could
be WINDOWS on a SBS 2003 fresh install. This just occurred to me. From now
on I will modify the link replacing the winnt directory with
the %SYSTEMROOT% variable.

For example:

hh ms-its:%SYSTEMROOT%Help\Diskconcepts.chm::/dm_mirrored_volume.htm
