These idiots installed thousands of computers with an active desktop which references an HTML file on the c:\ drive. Now I own the mess - now they want to change the active desktop file. We have iframe windows with reference to files on a web server. I have installed an activeX control on one of the web pages. We need to use that ActX control to 1) remove the old desktop 2) point the active desktop to a new http page and 3) size the new active desktop web page to fill the entire screen. This involves IShell::ActiveDesktop programming in a VB ActX control. Get me started in the interface, I can handle the control application. Deliverables: Complete source code of all programming work done Special Conditions / Other: OS: Win98 and 2K.
