Preston, Tony, and Steven,

I found the following WMI class which sounds like it might be
useful.

Determine whether a computer is a tower, a mini-tower, a laptop,
and so on by using the Win32_SystemEnclosure class and checking
the value of the ChassisType property.

Oddly enough, this function indicates that my laptop (new Sony
Vaio running Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) has no enclosure. :)

Well, its a start!

Thank you all for your ideas and help!

Malcolm
