Actually I'm using a normal version of windows.  I've never seen anyone 
use a Thai version...perhaps it's not available.

That's done the trick, and was very easy and user-friendly.  I can even 
type in Thai!  Good idea to add /bin to the windows Path variable; I 
hadn't thought of that.  I love the transparency too!

Thanks so much for your help.
