2104	Lost the Titles on all my open folders after a lot of shell/resize testing.  PDF's hard to control by name.	StillC		"I've been working on opening several files of different types with ShellExecute, and then doing what i can to WinMove them into exact positions on my desktop using the names of the titles.  After a lot of trial and error, i lost the titles on my folders (CabinetWClass).  That's right, i have no titles in the title bar of any folder i now open in Windows 7 x64  !  System restore did not work, and poking around in folder view options (ie. restoring everything to default) did not work. Googling around the web also did not produce anything. 

I probably won't be able to reproduce this for anyone, except to inline the kind of code i was fooling around with...every possible variation of the lines included...to see why i was not able to control my Adobe Reader PDF files consistently using the name in their title bars.  I've finally given up and have decided to WinMove all my files around using their class.   I have no problem with the class method, but the name-of-title method is inconsistent. 

When i was testing, i'd get a lot of stalling.  The script would not go forward, nor would the script end, so i'd have to click Stop Executing alot.  The thing is, whenever i'd do that, it seems like there were still commands in a que looking for files or folders to mess with, and i'd see things popping up on my desktop where it looked like some code was still trying to execute.  I just crossed my fingers it would not harm anything.  But after a lot of this, it somehow managed to turn the titles off (make them invisible?) on all my folders, so i can't control those with the name method.  I can still control them with the class method though.  

I have a disk image from three days ago that i'll be restoring my laptop to the way it was.  That's the only solution i can think of to get my titles back.  And from now on i'll be using the class method, even though it was not my first choice.  

So beware, and good luck!
