The best doc I know is the MSDN. Look for "The Windows Shell" as well as any Shell... function or IShell..., etc.

You can also use dumpbin.exe to see what's inside the Shell32.dll:
dumpbin /exports Shell32.dll |more

When you see a function that might do what you want, look for it in MSDN. But this goes only for shell functions, not for shell interfaces. But if you plan to use it from VFP only, you cannot use shell interfaces/COM anyway.

>Can someone please tell me where I can go to get some information on the ShellAPI. I have searched Microsoft and they must call it by some other name. Thanks.
