Wouldn't it be advantageous for PowerBasic to make/provide a
"Powered by PowerBasic" icon/logo for programmers to include
in their software rather than an "Underpowered by Windows" icon? Of course,they might have to have a disclaimer that they aren't
responsible for the work of the artist, only for providing him
with a brush.
We have too many lawyers with too little to do. Many would glom onto this "association" thinking "powered by" is actually spelled, "c-o-n-t-i-n-g-e-n-c-y f-e-e."
Hmmm... I see you have a Canadian address. I think you guys have space for about 200,000 of our excess attorneys.

So, if 98 is the same then walah, I'm in business..
Otherwise I just did a print screen of it, I prefer my own dialog box....
MS Wants to own the world it seems...(THey just won their appeal ruling just a few minutes ago, judge threw it out to a new judge/trial)..

The Bitmap is stored in shell32.dll. Open it with your favorite resource editor to extract it (I use ResHack or Restorator).
In my german Win2K the Win2K-Bitmap has the resource-ID 131.
Perhaps you can load it directly out of the shell32.dll (I think, the ID is the same on every Windows. I'll check this...)
So I was looking at the ShellAbout API again, since we're under Win2k and all now....
Microsoft STILL insists on putting THEIR name in front of YOUR application....

I just want my app to have the "win2k" look..
g_szMine = "Winlog For Windows 2000"
g_Result = ShellAbout(ByVal hWnd, "does not own this product",ByVal StrPtr(g_szMine), ByVal g_hIcon)
