• Fixed a problem with the document icon support. The previous version of this article stated that to create an icon for a document, you should refer to the resource ID of the icon within the application's .RES file. This was incorrect: in fact you should use the 0-based index of the icon in the resource script (noting that if your app has a standard VB icon, this automatically gets compiled in as the first icon within the app).
• Also the updated cRegistry class is incorporated to ensure the app works with the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes registry hive as well as the standard HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive.
