Depending on which version you have, it's either Tutor3.exw, ... or WinTutor.exw. [ in my latest 'beta' ] It uses shellExecute() for *everything*... My address7.zip also uses shellExecute() to start an e-mail... ...and Kat, you might try shellExecute() with the following flag. SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE -- Displays the window as a minimized window. The active window remains active. ...haven't tried it, but if a program opened this way actually *does* anything while it's minimized, I suppose this is what you might be looking for. Wolf
