      You can't modify an existing .CPL file, but you CAN write Control Panel Applications and Control Panel Extensions. Nearly all of the examples I've ever seen are written entirely in VC++, not VB. You can check out a couple of sites first to see if this is what you really want to do: This[^] is a framework for VB that you can hang your own code on to make a control panel app. I've never used it so I can't attest to how easy it is to use. This[^] is the start of the documentation on MSDN for Control Panel Applications. A CPApp is not a stand alone app (.EXE), but an extension to the Shell, this means it's in a .DLL. You'll have to export certain functions like CplApplet. Don't count on any VB examples in here, it's all C++ code. RageInTheMachine9532
