Hi Antonio,

The 'open with' list would refer to the list of files to be
opened with the same program, if that program accepts multiple
file opens (ie probably a multiple document type program, or
else have the program open several times for different docs).
The 'close' list would be a list of any programs associated with
that button.  I guess each item on this list would have to
accept drops from files (as you tried with Explorer) so that it
can register that file with the program.

I guess two 'modes' of operation would be appropriate:
mode one where the user registers all their programs and files and
mode two where the user actually opens all this stuff.

Yes, the main window accepts drops from Windows Explorer, and creates
a button (you get the message that it's not a shortcut but it will
create the button anyway right? ).  This was meant to make it easy
to create buttons directly from Windows Explorer files (ie exe programs
or text files or whatever).  If you already have your system set up
to associate an exe file with a document file you can drop that doc type
file onto the main window and get a button that opens the file with
the associated exe program.

One thing i havent done yet is get Internet Explorer drops to work,
ie when you drop an internet path onto the main window directly from
IE (it does accept internet paths from the shell however).  This
must be a different clip format so i'll have to look into what format
this is and how to access the data.


Take care,
Al
