Richard: Thanks for the suggestion but we tried this one, the whole reason we can't use that is that the window must be statically sized (cannot be resized or messed with). I've written a recursive dir (I know there are UDFs for it but I wanted to try it myself), it seeks out the .lnk files (so crudely enumerates them), it would be easy to make it run these directly but it's the whole 'creating the window' and 'populating it with icons'... trick. I will have a blast with KixForms myself but I'm still learning KiX in my spare time (am getting on well with it tho, am already converting login scripts and solving other problems we have with it... it's great!). If anyone wants to be nice and give me a starter for 10 on how I could just get the icons in the window (in an icon sort of way) then it'd be great.
