    When I add a new filetype in VB6 under Win98 the associated icon won't show up when browsing files, not even after pressing F5, only after restarting will the proper icon be displayed how can I alleviate this.

    Code:
    'In declarations
    Declare Function SHChangeNotify Lib "shell32.dll" (ByVal wEventID As Long, ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwItem1 As String, ByVal dwItem2 As String) As Long
    Private Const SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED = &H8000000
    Private Const SHCNF_IDLIST = &H0
    'To use
        SHChangeNotify SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, vbNullString, vbNullString
    Use

    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
