Really? You can see my confusion - I have zero C/C++ experience.

Well, I run it once, I get an '87' error, The parameter is incorrect.
On a second immediate run, I get a '120', This function is not supported on this system. I am testing under Win98SE, docs say it is supported. The docking info "dwDockInfo - A set of bit flags that indicate the docking state of the computer. This member can be a combination of the following values." is indicated as type DWORD. Can I really get by this easily? Thanks, Larry.
