Yeah, I guess now people will have a hard time telling which one is the
best looking (the utilities, not you Chris & Garrett  ).
A little suggestion: Why not make a tooltip for the new virtual drives,
containing the path to the folder associated with that drive letter. This
would make it easier to keep track of current associations.

As I had nothing better to do...VDrive is now version 2.3.4.2002. It
now shows drive associations on button tooltips.

I noticed sometime back that the tooltips cause my cpu to peg out at 100%, so I try to avoid using them at all possible costs.

Oh yeah! Now you're talking! Now I can't say whether yours or mine is the best looking one.

I said something easy! Besides, like LiquidCode, I too have already made a chat/im system before too.

Well, let's just say the are even! 
About the tooltips...why not have mouseover events and have a status
bar display the path...just an idea.

Hi Garrett.
That's really useful information. I never noticed that tooltips had this
effect. But I just checked it out in one of my scripts, and you are
absolutely right! Even the fastest processors max out when the mouse
cursor rests on dialog elements with tooltips.
Jeez, that's bad news! And shame on VDS for using 100% CPU for such
a simple task. Arrrgghh, I'll have to go and weed out this feature in some
of my programs.

But I guess that now it will be saddingly easy to write a CPU stress program -
just one small dialog with one little BITBTN with the tooltip "Fry, motherf....." 
It took just 1½ minute to raise my CPU temperature 3 degrees.

Garrett,
I've been running your program on four different machines (p2 400 XP Pro, p2 333 98SE, p3 800 ME, p3 650 Win2K Pro). Haven't had a prob on any of them. Great program. Just my two cents here but I do think Liquid's suggestion of having the status bar reflect the path of the mapped drive would be a great addition.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the info. I might do the path thing....
To everyone else, I think I know the cause of some of the problems. Unlike Liquid Code's program, I display Long File Names and not short file names of the paths to the folders being used.
When you click on an existing virtual drive in my program, I will display the long file name to the path of the folder being used for that drive.
To do this, and insure that my program is always upto date... I get a list of current virtual drives everytime you click a drive button on or off. Then I take that list and match up the short file name paths to each folder, and use a dos program to convert the short names to long names. I do believe the problems are happening with this dos program
Mind Power has provided me with a alternative solution to getting the long file names and I will be trying that soon and hopefully that will resolve the problem.
-Garrett
