>Yes, the system part will vary. On my machine, it's System32 (Win2K Pro). In order to avoid version dependence, I'd use the GetSystemDirectory API call.

DECLARE INTEGER GetSystemDirectory IN Win32API;

For the sake of being on the safe side, you should probably check to make sure that lnresult in the above is greater than zero. If it isn't then GetLastError() will return the error info.

George,

Thanks very much. This works well.

On my machine (Windows 98), I actually have both Windows\System and Windows\System32 folders. Your code shows the first one.

It looks like the System32 (which has only a few files) was created by some program that hard-coded the path.

Hilmar.
