| Win98 comes with IE4 preinstalled, not IE5.  Did you go to Microsoft's
| website and install a newer version of IE?

     Hello & Thanks Remy,
     Yes, I installed Office 2000 before
     Office 2000 contains IE 5.5.???

| What you need to do is follow Microsoft's documentation and check the
actual
| Shell version that is available so that you can utilize the appropriate
| functionality for versions that actually support what you want to do:
|

    Please see my example.

|     Shell and Common Controls Versions
|
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersgu
ide/versions.asp
|
|
| Case in point.  Obviously, if you try to use a new feature in an older OS,
| it won't work, so you have to use alternative approaches to get the
results
| you are looking for.  Such as looking in the Registry manually for those
| values you cannot query with an available function.
