Answer 1

You have got to be kidding :(



You are too lazy to post 22 questions separately but you expect one person to answer all 22 questions in one answer. Even I'm not that helpful.

=================

You contacted me directly and said you are desperate, so I said I would help. However, looking at the list up there and the complexity/sophistication of these tasks there is very little I can help you with directly. Most of these would take weeks/months of study and research.



For 1) For how to use the open file dialog and

6) There are a lot of examples for searching drives and directories here:

7) Put a shortcut to the application in the Startup folder under c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup



14) this has VBA code which you can adjust to be VB:

NOTE: the reason you haven't gotten answers for most of these is the average user doesn't know or the answers are so complex this is not the right forum. How do I replace the desktop and filesystem - how many man years did it take MS to develop windows 1.0 (never mind XP, Vista, etc.)



You need to go to some of the development forums in DEVx, etc. and begin to ask questions there. You also need to begin to research the topics.



If you are serious about development, and I think you are, you have to learn that in software development, MOST TIMES, there are no easy answers. You can't go to your buddy or Yahoo answers and ask can you give me this code for something no one has ever done.



If you are lucky, people will point you in the direction so you can begin reading. Never mind source code/examples/solutions.

Answer 2

=== see end for extra information

I'm with LoverOfWine on this one.



Try searching previous answers on Yahoo Answers. Some of your questions have been asked and no doubt answered before.



Also try looking at the Microsoft sample applications site here:

MS VB page

have a look at the Microsoft VB home page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/default.aspx



in particular the sample applications:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5ekc8at3(VS.80).aspx



those two combined should give you the materials to do your project



google will be able to find sample code for the others.



==== new information



you might be to have a look a the sample applications here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5ekc8at3(VS.80).aspx



From there you should be able to build a useful application. If you are looking to get into computers in the long term then learning about databases & database applications would be a good move.

Perhaps build some kind of music database to track CDs etc.
