Hi David,

Basically I am showing the list of applications installed on the PC. User
will select the multiple applications from that list and will start the
process. Now for all those selected applications I want to capture the
registry keys and files in which application specific data is stored. For
example If I set that after every 5 minutes Outlook Express should check for
the new emails, this woudl be stored somewhere in the registry or in some
file. I want to capture that registry item or the file. But my application
does not know that what are the registry keys it needs to capture for a
particular application.

So what I am doing is I am launching all user selected applications in the
background (i.e. actually afterwards I will create a new desktop and luach
the application in that new desktop) and then getting the handle of its main
window and the menu. I am hitting all the menu items which will access or
modify registry and file system. I am monitoring these registry and file
system changes using Regmon and Filemon utilities and capturing all such
access and modified items.

So to do this I require the handle of the menu from which I will get the
CMenu* using which I will hit the menu.

I hope I have given a clear picture to you.
Will wait for your reply.

Thanks,
Vaibhav
