Hey,
        Hope you all had a good holiday season. Always nice to come back to
a trojan...

        Would the below idea be of any use to anyone? I'll be happy to get
around to knocking up a little app to do it, simple enough. About time my
Win32 skills got dusted off and given an airing.

        Reply direct to me please to save the spam, only "yes it would"
responses thanks. If theres enough people interested (ie more than one ;)
I'll sort something out when I have some free time. Of course if there is
already an app to do it, even better.
