If it worked from the console (meaning you had adequate permission) and every other user has the permissions then there's no difference. I trust services I write WAY more than I'd trust any user with enhanced privileges. Only the service runs in the context of the "fake" account, not the users that log in on the machine. I'm rusty on my limited IT skills but on a domain can't an account be created on the domain server and managed there instead of having to add an account to every machine? Yes managing extra accounts is a pain - you can thank all the hackers that have taken advantage of security holes in Windows for that. The localsystem acount used to have many more privileges. :sigh: Mark -- modified at 15:32 Sunday 1st April, 2007 fixed some splelling errors "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."

Hi! In the book: Using Visual C++ 6, by Jonathan Bates, Timothy Tompkins, You can find the complete explanation what to do, I think even that there is a complete example how to create such an application! The main thing is how to recognize the file attributes, which can be either a Directory or an ordinary file. Then, You have to find which is the "first of" in the current directory (as You iterate through the tree), and which is the "next one". Using the object list, You can pack these file in the structure, and finally, add the images in the directory tree, which is also explained how to create. Best regards, D.
