Wow, the list must be very long. You have explained in your submitted articles that your software is running on *MILLIONS* of computers. Perhaps a few found out who wrote the spyware and finally acting on it. VictorV

I had a similar problem once - I had to call a Windows 2000 machine but I was developing on NT. The solution (in pseudocode) was something like this: if(IsOs2000()) { Explicitly load the system DLL that has the function using LoadLibrary Get the function poitner using GetProcAddress Call the function Unload the DLL if necessary } Just a thought. Ugly, I know, but it might work in your situation. Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

I was thinking, just query for IShellLinkW, if you get it, use it. Otherwise use IShellLinkA.

You raise an interesting point, the trouble is as soon as you put the code up onto this site then it is out of your control. Whilst 90% of people who visit Code Project would probably respect your licence there will be others who just take the code and use it any way they want. You'll probably never know if your code is used in App X by Company Y. In the end you should only post code that you are happy to share for all uses. You can put whatever licence you want on your own code but there are individuals who won't respect it anyway. That sadly is the world we live in. Michael :-)
