I'm afraid I don't actually recall--I just searched google for "icon
capture" & used the first download that worked. 8^)

Any suggestions where I could find that icon capture
utility!   Thanks

John

We've got a similar app in place here.  My approach was to write a VBScript
that sought out and redirected any shortcuts to the actual executable to our
launcher program.  This just runs once though, and any shortcuts the user
creates from that point forward (or of course if they hit the actual
executable directly) will of course not go through the launcher.

For the icon issue, we used a freeware icon capture utility & used that.

Cheers,

Hi;
	I have a VB6 Login program that run another program once the users
login.
The program runs fine, my problem is, if I click the associated icons that
this program has, it launches and by-passes my login program. Just what are
my options, I tried to associate the icons by using an OLE control, but have
no way of finding the icon bitmap file, it did not come with the 3rd party
installation disk and they will not supply the icon.

	I think there is several solutions to this, but am, excuse the
expression,
brain farting!!
I would appreciate some guidence. Your books provide an ample amount of
solutions to a variety
of programming tasks, and enjoy reading them.

Thanks ahead;

John
