This program is a simple application that is designed for one thing and one thing only: It senses the "Splash Screens" used by Windows when you start up your computer, the computer is in the process of shutting down, and when Windows prompts you "It Is Now Safe To Turn Off Your Computer," or whatever you have it set to. This program allows you to copy those images to the clipoard, as well as "Refresh" them. If for no other reason, check this program out to learn what files Windows uses for the pictures behind the splash screens, and how to load pictures into pictureboxs/images on runtime, a function that is VERY helpful when skinning. This could be useful for people attempting to make their own themes. By using the knowledge that I gained from this application, I wrote a program that changes those screens to some special files that I made. P.S. Throw a vote in my direction if you can find the time: You have no idea how long it took me poking around in my hard drive to find these files, and to figure out how to load pictures on runtime. And for those of you wondering how you load pictures on runtime, this is the simplest code available. Example: Private Sub Form_Load() Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Windows\Bubbles.bmp") End Sub

This is a fairly simple code that is an alternative to Windows Explorer or My Computer. An example using the DriveListBox, DirListBox and FileListBox, this code was "inspired" by File Browser, uploaded a few days ago. However, I wrote every line of code in it except for the "Error" section, you'll see when you download it. This application distances itself from most, maybe all of the other file browsers on PSC because it enables you to OPEN files from right within the application, by using the Shell ("Start ") API call. This enables you to open all types of files that are associated with an application, not just open specific files. This function does not ALWAYS work, I don't have a clue why not, but if anyone could point out why this is happening, if they could post an UNDERSTANDABLE comment, it would be greatly appreciated. Now, if you think this code is worthy, throw a few positive comments amd votes my way, and bear in mind, I'm 11 and this is in the BEGINNER category. Some of you seem to derive some strange pleaseure from rating beginner code at the intermediate, or even advanced level. I hope this Drive Browser comes in handy or teaches you something!
