Is there a way I can open Windows Explorer at a specific folder, size
the window, and position it in relation to the (already opened) Access
window? I have a client who wants this capability. It would be great
if I can do it inside an Access control, but I guess that's asking a
bit much?

Explorer does accept many command line parameters.
I'm not sure about size/location, but if you want it to open with the
Folders view at left, to a particular folder (say MyPath), and select a
particular folder in the right pane (say MyFolder), you would Shell
something like this:
"%SystemRoot%\e xplorer.exe /e, /select, ""C:\MyPath\Fol der"""

Thanks Allen that nearly solves it - but still can't position and
size ... is it possible to do it with an API or something - like shell
explorer and get the processid and set some properties?

I don't know a simple way to get that happening, Terry.
Perhaps someone else can suggest something for you.
In case you don't get responses, here's a generic API source of VB code: http://vbnet.mvps.org/

I'm trying to open a window in a specific position of the screen with this
script:
window.open('window.htm','mywindow','width=250,height=350,screenX=20,screenY
=100')
it works with Netscape 6.2 but Internet Explorer and Opera just seem to
ignore the XY coordinates.
Any idea on how to make it work?

Hi everybody!
I wonder if this is possible?
I need to determine if a client is using "windows classic folders" or
anything else. If I instantiate a Shell ActiveX object is there a way
of obtaining this information from javascript? (I know that the user
will get prompted about allowing such an operation, but I am willing
to live with this). Because of the way one of my pages work, I need
to know this information in order to "cover up"...

Hi guys
The following code works just fine in Netscape on MacOS and Windows. But in
Explorer on MacOS and Windows it throws a type mismatch error at the point
marked with the comment ³// bug out at this point². (The functions that are
called, but not listed here work fine in both Netscape and Explorer in this
and other contexts, so I can confidently discount them as the source of any
error.)
I have also tried just a plain and simple...

Open source programs in general suck pretty bad also. Here are some
loose facts regarding why projects like Linux, PHP, MYSQL, and
other open source programs suck:
- Linux is simply a clone of an operating system over 20 years
old similar to DOS (Unix). That's ALL Linux is. The kernal was taken,
decompiled, and stolen by Linus himself. That's a fact. Xerox
should have sued, but at the during the early 1991, no one was

I am having a small problem with window.open() obviously something I am

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
