Hi
I am currently developing a Replacement shell for windows using VB.
I have nearly completed it but am stuck on the adding icons to the back screen.
firstly though is i have a form where a user types in a name of the program, the path of the program, and chooses an icon from a list specified. i need this to be put into a file and be saved somewhere, so when i get the icons working on the back screen, each file in my folder (Called Programs) is read, the program name (which was entered) is put as a caption, the icon is loaded above it and when the icon is dbl clicked, it loads the path from this file as well.
It's all quite complicated and if anyone can help in areas of this i would be very grateful as i am now i am at this wall and don't know how to go about getting past it.
Thanks
