And now he deleted my reply to f0dder as well, giving the reason "Discussing undocumented APIs is a good way to get a comment deleted" and he closed the blog entry for further commenting. Nice guy. I don't quite understand the difference between my comments and the other comments. Apart from that I don't understand his weird replies about 0% and 100% correctness. Well, I'm not interested in COM anyway. And if COM changes the CWD it's broken by design. But I guess that's not allowed to say, either... Corinna
