These parameters are found by a simple search of the file, and >the parameters are read in. Does anybody know whether the Windows control panel is extensible, like the MacIntosh control panel is? It's interface suggests that it should be quite easy (at least for Microsoft) to add new icons and new handlers. Some icons/handlers are in fact shown/hidden depending on how your Windows configuration looks like, i.e. whether you run in enhanced mode or not, or whether you have a network driver installed or not. It would be nice to do the same (i.e. add the installation/configuration part to the control panel) for arbitrary applications. Any ideas? Wolfgang Strobl #include
