Hello Krishnan, I have a suggestion for you : on a Windows NT machine, you can try modifying the following registry entry : "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" Search for the environment variable you want to modify and make the necessary changes. Best Regards, Bio.

I can`t tell you what the problem is, only that I know a good few people who have experienced terrible trouble getting win2k to network properly, particularly when other OS's are connected. There is a non-descript delay in connecting the network upon startup, amongst other reports of high latency and failure to browse whole sections of the network. My advice is to try using a different OS, I`m using Win XP RC1 (I have RC2, but can`t be bothered to re-install it for such a minor upgrade in performance), and it is sh**loads better than win2k in my opinion, networking is a dream. If you really want it to run on win2k I think you`ll be in it for the long haul (but maybe I`m wrong!). Alan. "When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the Master" - Darth Vader:mad:

Hi, I tried your solution. But, it does not work when the items are being added in the beginning.

If possible, call CreateProcess from separate thread, then use WaitForSingleObject with process handle to get notified of process termination. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

You can start by checking out "How to Implement Drag and Drop Between Your Program and Explorer". That article covers drag and drop with Explorer, but the concepts apply to your situation just as well. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "Make sure that if you are using a blow torch that you don't set anything on fire."   -- Chris Maunder
