WM_CREATE/WM_INITDIALOG, you have to make system wide hook to know about it....

Hai Tox,
you can't/difficult use the Spy++ tool when Shutdown Dialog is up... better idea would be to plant system wide hook and catch message Smile | :)

File Time questions...

I was reading file times are stored in a different way for FAT and NTFS. So if two file dates are gotten, and one file is on a FAT system and the other on NTFS, and they are compared with CompareFileTime(), will the result be messed up? How do you make it work right? Also how do you display the date as a string that works with both file systems (in win32, no fancy libraries like mfc, wtl, .net etc.)?
