Hi John:

General, please. Manipulating the Work Menu is a problem in all versions.

A casual scan of your code shows it would run in either platform.

And since they infested PC Word with the execrable Task Pane, more and more
users are searching for a way to "Keep a list of my favourite documents
handy".

On the PC, they have had three or four attempts to produce a "work" list of
files, and none of them work well enough to be used. The "Favourites"
folder is the most offensive: on a network, it causes a very annoying delay
each time you attempt to drag across the item in the start menu, which the
network sucks down the contents of t he user's networked Favourites
folder...

Cheers
