Yes, it's your code (modified a little) that I'm using from about two years ago when you first created it :) Either the NT part didn't exist on the first version, or else I cut it out long ago. Anyway, I've got the NT update from the FAQ section...and I'll check out the LoadImage idea, too, and let you know how it goes.

Thanks Vlad (and Bill and George also for replying)
