Since Richard brought up LBW, I will respond to this, but I'd like to avoid discussion of my own software on a forum dedicated to other software. (You'll notice that I do not do so on the Community Forum, and when members post about it, I answer briefly and point them to my forum.)
I appreciate your incredibly kind words. LBW is still available. It is not for sale, nor is it supported. My breaking point was that people would purchase it before trying. They would then complain that it wouldn't work. I went around and around trying to make it work for them, then (usually) ended by giving them a refund. At this point in my life, I haven't the time or energy to properly support my software. In an attempt to be kind and generous, I pay for my website and give away everything for free.
I do not even have a CD drive on my current PC. I could not easily install Visual Studio 6. Perhaps I could not install it at all. I haven't tried. I have no way to further develop LBW. When MS moved to the .NET framework, they advised owners of VB 6 to rewrite code from the ground up, since porting would be extremely difficult, if not impossible; for this reason, I never attempted to move to a different development tool.
Thanks for saying nice things about LBW, Ray.

I do agree with Ray that you should change "Does not work reliably on versions of Windows later than Windows XP" to "May not work reliably..." or even "Has not been thoroughly tested on versions of Windows later than Windows XP". You do yourself and the product a disservice by stating that it doesn't work; I've never noticed any problem with the Recent Files List and it may be that the bug was in Windows Vista, not your code.
Richard.
