This is a warning about a DLL an operating system DLL uses. That operating system DLL is smart enough to not load the DLL if it isn't present. It uses the delay loaded DLL system to do this. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Abin, thank you very much for that information, that helps a lot. I was really having a hard time because I used a code example from codeguru.com on how to get the MAC Address of the PC. http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/network/networkinformation/article.php/c5451 I used Method 3 (GetMACAdapters) and this includes iphlpapi.lib. Now DependencyWalker showed it relied on EFSADU.DLL which was not present on XP Home. So I was very confused. I now learned that although DepWalker lists EFSADU.DLL (which is called by IPHLAPI.DLL), this does not mean that it is explicitly linked. I must say that I have not really understood the concept between explicitly and implicitly linking, so I will try to learn about it. Thank you again, Tony

Dear Mamad, thanks so much for your answer. I will try it out but doubt that it works. Why? Because I think that Framework 1.1 you are talking about is the .NET Framework. But I have coded in pure VC++, not VC++.NET. So I cannot really see how the framework would influence my native code (no IL). I will try it anyway. Thanks again, Tony

I belive the menus work differently in JAVA, plus i dont know wheather its "easly" possible to hook it coz the JVM has control over it. How do you want to hook it any way, from JAVA or from VC++ P.R.A.K.A.S.H
