Nice idea and app. Having a quick look at the code I had forgotten how much work needed to be done for old-skool Windows applications. They do give you great lean applications though which is something I miss. I will always have a soft spot for small, lean single function applications. I guess it takes me back to my UNIX days. Some of my favourite more modern programs are SumatraPDF, uTorrent (the older 2.x versions)…

Sumatra PDF is the best. I actually prefer it, running under wine, to any of the Linux PDF readers I've tried. I used I to write/preview my thesis.
