Because it could take over the user's machine without the user realising. If you need your application to run as admin you have to ask permission from the user. The user then has to make a judgement whether to trust your code. Upcoming events: * Glasgow Geek Dinner (5th March) * Glasgow: Tell us what you want to see in 2007 My: Website | Blog | Photos

I forgot to mention, if you use a subfolder of "Program Files" like is typically used in installations then your apps can use GetEnvironmentVariable()/SetEnvironmentVariable() to set their own process PATH environment variables if necessary (to point to your common DLL folder).

If your local network supports quality of service packets set your application to use a low QOS value and then just flood the network. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the Universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." -- Stephen Crane

I want to get the files which are not present even in the recycle bin.(There are third party applications to do the same.)

Ummm....Everything in VB is stored in Unicode. Could it be that the characters you're trying to display don't exist in the font that your using? Which VB are you using? What's the O/S on the machine? It could also be that your O/S doesn't support it. Win9x installations had to have Unicode support added to the O/S after installation...

Hi, My Application is Built on VB6.0. Regards, Ranjan

Setting the font of the Form will not change the font of the controls on it. (Each control will have it's own Font property.) It only changes the font of the titlebar and any text directly written, using only certain methods, to the form surface itself. Also, you change the Font by creating a new Font object, not specifying a string. One possibility is: myForm.Font = New Font("Tahoma", 8) The Font class has about a dozen constructors, so you can find out more here[^].

Well, you find it in the property-window (there I found it) when you have selected the form itself. Greetings, Ingo ------------------------------ A bug in a Microsoft Product? No! It's not a bug it's an undocumented feature!
