First, Thanks again Tim Golden :) I've gotten a lot of use out of WMI so far, though I'm still trying to get an actual list of WHAT I need as far as system info for this tool I'm writing. Now I've got another question that I hope someone can provide the answer I want, not the one I'm afraid is co

That is better explained...I still don't think you could modify the behaviour of the quicklaunch, but here are some suggestions: 1) Write a custom explorer toolbar. You may be able to use PowerPro for this (http://powerpro.webeddie.com/) 2) Use Launchy or something like it instead of quicklaunch.
