This sample program shows how to accomplish 3 tasks.

1. Create a shortcut to a program in any directory the user 
   specifies.  The shortcut can be either a LNK file to a Windows
   program or a PIF file to a DOS program.
2. Display the Open common dialog box without using the Common Dialog
   custom control.
3. Display a Browse For Folder dialog box, useful for allowing
   a user to choose a directory.

Any questions can be sent to PCC MikeD on America Online.
