Hi again: Thanks for the responses. A couple questions: 1. I need this to work for IE5, and according to MSDN the IUrlHistory interfaces require 5.5 minimum. 2. The History "folder" is kind of weird -- I have a strong suspicition it's actually a file, shown as a folder through the use of shell extensions, or something like that. In other words, I don't think I can just enum files inside that folder, looking for ones I want to change. Am I wrong? Any other ideas? Thanks, Gene ---------------------------------------- ----I said my name wasn't important ---------------------------SlartiBartFast

If you are talking about all machines world-wide where some version of Windows is installed, yeah, that's probably correct. However, that is not everyone's market. If you are targeting a specific group of users (such as a corporation where all software is standardized) then this decision is much more relevant. And although this is feature seems generally to be used for unnecessary gimicks, there are other uses for it; i recall one person posting here a while back who was designing a HUD that needed to be displayed over another piece of software. --------_** all the modern things have always existed they've just been waiting to come out and multiply and take over **_ Björk, The Modern Things
