Hello. I was perusing planetsourcecode and I found this interesting piece of code that turns the desktop icon backgrounds in 98 and before to transparent, like win xp does. The only problem with it is it doesn't persist. Can one of you api gurus take a look at the code and help me to make it so it will stay transparent. I am already coming up with a flag system in a text file to record the state of the icons, I just need some help with the api to make it persist when refreshed or rebooted. When you refresh or reboot, you loose the transparency. I made an exe that I run when I reboot and such, but I would much rather make it stick the first time. I have uploade the zip with the project in it as I got it from planet source code. Its a nice piece of work. I have been wanting this ever since I started using 98. So any help will be appreciated.
