My response was because with a couple of clicks, I saw a couple of lines of code that seem to do the trick. I didn't have to download an EXE nor did I have to dig through a FAQ. A knee jerk reaction, possibly.

I will also have to admit that I'm not happy with what COULD be returned from this function/method call (GUIDs, etc.) and the code from Cheang Hoong Wan will help resolve that.

And, as is always the case ... "I get to show my humanity everyday"

I know that there is one in Windows (Copy/Move To displays this one). I just cannot seem to find the API name/call/define for it.
