yep, it's complaining a lot, since i am not on pd-extended anymore but 
on vanilla (also due to heavy recommendations on this list) ;-)

anyway: thanks a lot for all your efforts !

i built a dirty little workaround on my system (windows 7) with AutoIT 
(the gaffertape for those who can not code) and everything works fine 
now ! (in case, anybody is interested, my script is attached)

thanks for all help, saved me a lot of clicking and typing !

cheers
