You are right that the text needs to be trimmed down a bit. Alright so Tom and I have talked, how about something like this: "This will start the program '%s'. If you are unsure of the origin, click= =20 Cancel." " (Details >>) --> would expand to name, Exec=3D line, perhaps the comment= =20 info" (or Details could be a underlined link with the same info) This is significantly less text but I think it gets the same point across.

Alright so Tom and I have talked, how about something like this:


"This will start the program '%s'. If you are unsure of the origin, click Cancel."


" (Details >>) --> would expand to name, Exec= line, perhaps the comment info" (or Details could be a underlined link with the same info)
