If you don't want to mess with files in the primary Mathematica installation, you can create a Kernel folder in Program Files\Common Files\Mathematica\3.0 and put the command you list above in a text file called "init.m". When the kernel launches, both the shared and private init.m files are processed, with settings in the private file overriding the shared file. -- P.J.
