Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. It makes sense now. messages and such like. my lack of
knowledge of win32 shows.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Am I right in thinking the win32 api is awfull?

Hmm, I should have read the doc more closely before I replied. My fault.
I doesn't work quite that automatically. TrackPopupMenu is a
general-purpose Windows API -- it doesn't have any connection to or
knowledge of Windows Explorer, so it cannot force Explorer to take
actions. If you don't specify TPM_RETURNCMD, then the final result of
selecting a menu item will be that a WM_COMMAND message sent to your
window. Your window doesn't know what to do with those command codes,
so nothing useful will happen. In this particular case, I think you
HAVE to use TPM_RETURNCMD.
