Re: Windows 7 border buttons (and more)

Hi Fer,

Yeah, I meant "C:/Program files (x86)".

Good to know the boder buttons are not available in win7.
I use it as a replacement for the regular [X] at the top right
of the window to intercept the call to xBeforeClose.
Indeed funny that it invisibly still functions :)

I found another difference in XP vs. Win7.
This is how the disks show up in a browser dialog ...

WD-120GB (C:) // in XP
(C:) WD-120GB // in Win7

Do you run Gui4Cli apps in XP compatibility mode?
