Ed,
Thanks for the tip. Trouble is there are several and varied customers out there and several probably do have the retail install of 95. I have been trying to make GetFullPathName work but can figure out how to lpass the last parameter (a pointer) and what it is expecting there, i.e. what it is supposed to point to. Not even sure if that API will work anyway.
What do you think?
