This is a bit more complicated than you might like. I have<br>
a half-hearted example here:<br>
<br>

<br>
and the in-dev version of my winshell module includes some more<br>
general-purpose code which you might at least want to look at<br>
even though it's not 100% at the moment:<br>

<br>
Part of the difficulty is that Windows has switched between two<br>
approaches to this area which doesn't help when trying to get<br>
examples.<br>
