Modify the _layouts in a supported manner, please see <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944105">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944105</a>.  It involves either backing up the _layouts and modifying the masterpage or creating a copy of the _layouts and changing the virtual directory to use the new folder (my preferred solution).<br/>2. Create a httpmodule which replaces the application.master with your custom one, please see <a href="http://graegert.com/?p=781">http://graegert.com/?p=781</a><br/><br/>I prefer the HttpModule, but I am a developer, if you don't have Visual Studio then use option 1.<br/><br/>Hope this helps<br/><br/>Dave<hr class="sig">My SharePoint Blog - <a href="http://www.davehunter.co.uk/blog">http://www.davehunter.co.uk/blog</a>Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:53:24 Z2009-07-03T13:53:24Z
