Yeah, I was afraid the locations would vary, though I imagine most folks use the standard CL folder. The SHGetSpecialFolderLocation api call will get you the programs folder but you'd have to search from there to find the Poser shortcut(s) - still faster than searching the entire system. Ultimately, manual location is the only "foolproof" way of getting the correct reference but a fast way to present the most likely candidates is nice to have. Of course, someone won't have it on the menu, someone else will have the shortcut renamed for some perverse reason, etc. Makes life interesting :-)
