   Indeed, "a program".  Not "a script".

   Again, indeed.   
      
   But somehow you decided that my program must have been of the subtype   
   "script".  How come ?

   Nope, sorry.

   :-)  If he wanted to share it I would have already found his sourcecode.   
   Outlook Express is over two decades old.   
      
   Hmmm... that pspv.exe program is just 52 KByte.  Perhaps I should pull it   
   thru the disassembler and see what I can glean from it ..   
      
   > else, you're into learning Pstore programming.   
      
   Yeah, about that : I just spend some time trying to "google" that IPStore   
   objects vtable.  I can find some partial Linux info, but nothing about the   
   one in Windows.  And without that VTable I don't know how to call a named   
   method.   And without being able to do that ...   
      
   > Pstore was a Windows XP-only thing, became read only in Windows   
   > Vista, and dropped in Windows 7   
      
   Yep. Every webpage about its functions, methods, constants and types has   
   that info directly below its title.  Almost as if they wanted to make sure   
   you could not miss it. :-)   
      
      
   I would have thought that the information itself would, if not on an MS   
   website, still be floating around somewhere.  It looks like I was wrong in   
   that.
