Thanks for you opinion Mick.

(They are most experimented)

C:\Program Files\LaserTank\Lasertank
C:\Program Files\LaserTank\Challenge-I
C:\Program Files\LaserTank\Challenge-II
C:\Program Files\LaserTank\Sokoban-I
C:\Program Files\LaserTank\Beginner-I
C:\Program Files\LaserTank\Special-IEach of these subdirectory contain the corresponding files
Example :C:\Program Files\LaserTank\Lasertank contain Lasertank.lvl, Lasertank.ghs, Lasertank.hs and all my Lasertank.lpbC:\Program Files\LaserTank\Challenge-I contain Challenge-I.lvl, Challenge-I.ghs, Challenge-I.hs and all my Challenge-I.lpbsame thing for all subdirectories.When you click on the icon, it launch Lasertank and open the last level file you were working on when you quitted the last time.To work with another level file, you use the "Game" menu and select "Open Data File"That works for me.P.S. It's also possible to associate the .LVL extension to the Lasertank.exe program and then with the same directories structure, create 6 Icon (links) toward your 6 levels files.But I know that this doesn't work for some people, I think this has something to do with the operating system you use.You can experiment it.

>realise it is a LTG file so what should I open this with?The LTG file (LaserTank Graphics file) is a file you load when you go to the "Options" menu and select "Change Graphics"The LPB file (Level PlayBack file) is a file you load when you go to the "Game" menu and select "Playback Game"The LVL file (LaserTank Level file) is a file you load when you go to the "Game" menu and select "Open Data File"ByeDonald
