im back, can you point me in the right direction of how i would also get the directory of said dropped file? let me be a little more specific. the program outputs to the root directory in which the gui program is in. if i make me a link in the taskbar for the program and run it, then just start dropping files, it still puts the output into the gui programsd directory and not the directory in which the dropped file came from.
im also trying to figure out how to return the md5 from the subroutine to the listbox. ill make another thread later if i cant figure it out myself :)
