Hi,

>Anyone have a link to the MS GUI layout standard practices?

have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library in the User Interface/Books/The user experience section. Everything is described in there. If you have the MSDN Library on CD, the book is in there as well.

The WinXP style guide is on http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/windowsxp/downloads

HTH,
Armin
