In short - I'm interested which interfaces are supported on CompressedFolder COM object. http://i47.tinypic.com/14m49xx.png You can use OLE/COM Object Viewer and post screenshot/write down interfaces.

It looks that Vista is very stubborn about thumbnails. It seems that my first version (the one with IExtractimage) works after all (go figure). I forcefully deleted Vista thumbnail cache files (inside C:\Users\T800\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\) and now it seems to work OK. (I needed a bigger hammer :cool: ) Btw, I think that IThumbnailProvider example from SDK still has bugs, but I'm not wasting my time with it now. Merry Xmas and happy New year! :rose:

I found the best way to deal with his update system is to read it roughly once a week. You usually won't be annoyed then. (answer = no) He has fairly loyal readers but I think he would be much bigger if he had didn't have filler strips so often (or nothing at all.) If regular updates are a key consideration: LICD (Least I Could Do) updates the main comic 6 times a week and has a "Sunday" comic now involving the main character as a kid. Humor is adult, main character is nuts. The same artist does LFG (Looking For Group) twice a week. Sick, sick humor with Richard. Questionable Content rarely has missed days, and usually on special holidays with a filler strip mocking the artist. The series is kind of unusual and is often an acquired taste. Sluggy Freelance rounds out my list. Though he occasionally drops the ball, the humor and story are pretty compelling even after over 10 years and as the story is coming to an end. I read some more, but these are the ones that I tend to make sure I catch.

T800G wrote: I suggest to everybody to set their update mode to "notify me but don't install" Yes, I always set it to that. It's not just because of things like Genuine Notification. It's also to reject potentially hazardous items such as Windows service packs or new Internet Explorer versions (although the latter doesn't auto-install anyway). Kevin

Hi T800G, Well, that's refreshingly up-front; I think we all share "wanting attention" (some more acutely than others ?). Does that mean you also wish feedback on the design ? best, Bill "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

They may find it to be an albatross.
