Hello Al, I noticed that when you open the slide show by association or RightClick/open with that the smaller browse window opens up (grey with nothing in it) then closes real quick before the picture shows. How could the Deluxe Slide Show .exe determine if it was being opened by clicking on the DSS icon or clicking on a picture's icon (assuming DSS has been associated with the .jpg ext)? In the later case (which also could be done with right click/open with) there would be no need to open the 'current dir/browse window because we know where the picture is in that case. Don Cole

Hello again Al, I guess it does that no matter how you open it It's just much faster when you open it with the DSS icon, so you don't notice it as much that way. I see you've got close window right after it's created. So I don't know what else can be done. Unless the window could be created invisable. Don Cole

I've tried opening it several ways now and all of them work ok. Are you saying you want the slide show window to come up on top and stay there when you first open the file with DSS, or you want some other sort of behaviour?

That is the 'Slide Show Window' (the smaller grey window w/ 2 buttons) not to blink before the main window and the picture show up. But I don't think anything can be done about it. If you don't see it maybe it's a win2k thing or I have a slow computer (500MHz). Don Cole

Keep in mind when you create the window you'll have to specify other styles like 'overlapped' etc. if that's what you want, and just leave out the WS_VISIBLE style.
