Wow! Beautiful! Many, many, many thanks, Larry!

No. I think not. 'Cause I just want the text -- no background, i.e. transparent background, and no border.

Humm... Those will work! That one using WinGetPos... very ingenious! Thank you!

I'm very interested in these Shell Extensions. But the download URL in the first post is no longer working... Where can i get the Extensions now? Please help. Thanks!

How can I know how much screen space a ToolTip with some text is going to take? I'd like to be able to position a ToolTip in the upper-right corner of the screen... without the ToolTip going off the screen, of course. Is there any Windows API function for calculating this (given the text and font name, size, etc.)? I'd really appreciate any help with this... Thanks!

I need something similar to the code that gafrost posted above, but for displaying *text* instead of bitmaps. I mean, in my script, the text changes sometimes and is user-defined. gafrost, can you help me? Are there any Windows API functions for displaying text on top of everything -- without a box around the text -- or just a box with transparent background and no border -- so only the text shows? Please help! I need this very much. And all help is appreciated.
