NTDOC,

This UDF is absolutely brilliant...very helpful to me indeed.

There is only one comment (if I may; sorry)!

I really don't like the idea of "blowing" away explorer and then reloading it. You end up loosing icons in your system tray...(maybe not the end of the world, but I was hoping for a more elegant way!). [Smile]

Do you, or anyone else know of a way to reload the shell/start menu?

I tried looking on Microsoft's website and all I came up with was this...http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/objects/shell/refreshmenu.asp. Which I "tried" but I didn't get very far with it. [Frown]

Is the method you perform in this UDF the only solution?

Cheers, thanks for the UDF,

Lee
