altBrowser application

[Michael]

Thanks,
I put the dll into a custom property of the exe and dropped into the
%windir% but it wouldn't run unless I moved the dll to the same dir as
the executable. Guess I need the splash open and close to do the
create/delete work. What do you think ?
I'm on the east end boarder of OC / SM.

I've been walking distance from oak creek!!! ;)

if the dll is in the same directory, your app will see it. Unless it's
directory variable is not set right!

Or put it into the %SystemRoot% or %windir% directory which is in the
paths
of windows by default and not likely to change. Remember to remove it
after
install or not replace the wrong one if one exists...

 get shell("echo %SystemRoot%")
 or the specialfolders(36) -- there's a few other csids with that
value...

cheers
Xavier
