Do what everyone else does. You use MoveFileEx to get the files copied to the correct places during the system restart. Prior to restarting, add a RunOnce program that will register the DLL while the system is starting up. Tell user to reboot system. This is the 'recommended way to repalce DLL that are in use. Look at all the MS security udpates, constant reboots of machine, eh? Works for them.. should work for you!

> I turn off [...long list deleted...] Seriously...back on 95, I reversed maybe 2 out of the 5 possible view options...then with 98 I reversed 6 out of the 10...then on 2K I reversed 10 of the 12...and now on XP I reverse about 19 out of the 20 options. When Longhorn comes out, I predict I'm gonna reverse every option and checkbox without even looking at them.

Sorry no go, _access calls dosmapper => EACCES when file is locked, when permission denied. as well as it will lie about write access to network shares. _access will report file/directory is writable when it isn't. Thanks, Brian

It looks like Opera does just that.... Is opera MDI app?

No, but could you be more specific. Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!

I use the Bridge pattern as described by the GOF Book for exactly this. The tree has no idea what it's data source is or what it is displayed. There is an abstract tree container class for this, and the derived class provides the tree data upon request.
