One way would be to see if its CLSID exists in the registry. Another would to be check the list of installed apps at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. This approach will not work for all apps, however. "Old age is like a bank account.

there is no direct api for retrieving folder size, but you can do that programmatically by using CFileFind and CFile::GetStatus "Opinions are neither right nor wrong. I cannot change your opinion.

if (strchr(string, '\\') != strrchr(string, '\\')) root is folder. else root is file. Here i'm checking if the first instance of '\\' is equal to the last instance of '\\'. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

We usually use of Button control but do you want to know about create dialog or load dialog?

Am not sure what kind of problem you are facing there but try adding the WS_EX_APPWINDOW style to your dialogs... > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. <

Do you want to get the path of an installed application which is listed in the Add/Remove programs? If yes, then, Windows keep the un-installation information under this registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. Under this key for each item there will be DisplayName subkey, which holds the name of application and InstallLocation subkey, which holds the path of the installed application. Refer this article[^] about how to iterate through the registry uninstall information and get those values.
