Shawn,
Well, it's possible to have only the close button without the sysmenu : WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW = &H80
The bad part is that the caption bar get a little more thinner, but it's the only way to remove it on a basic window
Also, if you want to remove all 3 button and the sysmenu, remove the WS_SYSMENU style (i was almost sure you knew about this one, but now i am [Big Grin] )

For having only the min or max button without the other, i never manage to get it working correctly, plus the fact that some dll versions don't really like this state and ran into a bsod just to let you know about it

After the progressbar, you only need the explorer copy/move/delete, and the common dialog open/save and no more need of kixgui [Wink]
