I have reworked my command line to read as Kylania suggested, making sure of the space and just pointing to the SH3gw folder. It now loads Sh3 but not thegraywolves.
I run the short cut on my desk top. The Sh3 commander start page displays. I click on the run Sh3 button and that is exactly what it does. It starts Sh3 with the security check, loads Sh3 from the disk, and I never see the gray wolves splash screen.
I hope someone has some other ideas to try. I certainly don't know what to do.
BTW a

to Kiwi.
Thanks,
Jim
