For the customizable windows, it's how kixwin32 works. For this case, everyone will have his own screen, and don't really want something else they don't like. So i prefer doing the logon window myself, than using a predefined-fixed one. For that, kixwin32 is perfect, even if you don't need everything it can offer.
And, imagine giving kixtart such possibility, especially with the new version. How great!

For the C story, it's not that i don't want to learn it, but i don't really have the time to get better on it (i already know a little about, but making such ole thing is at a far highter level). I remember the first time i made a ocx under vb, after making some (good ?) exe programs : it's here i got my first white hairs.
And yes, i think i will go first on vb. As you said, if calling command needed in the script won't change, language is not important, and i will have a working toy much faster. Only the need of the VB dll on every comp redhibit me, but, well, users known when to take a coffee
Speaking of the VB DLL redistrib, the logonprocess is a very nice one, and not really big for what we search : a nice frontend for the logon procedure, with some custom possibilities. But i didn't look more for the moment.

And for having an activeX support for kixtart, i think i have a little trick to help it.

Ok, let's start (i don't think i'll sleep this WE) ... tikitikitikitikitikitikitikitik... rahhh, damn keyboard !!!...tikitikitiki
