 * Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition

SYMPTOMS
On a Windows Millennium Edition-based computer, if the IShellLink::Resolve function is called, a dialog box is displayed when the shortcut fails to resolve, even though SLR_NO_UI is specified as one of the flags.

RESOLUTION
In addition to the SLR_NO_UI flag, call IShellLink::Resolve with a NULL window handle (HWND) if no user interface should be displayed while programmatically trying to resolve a shortcut.

Passing a valid HWND for the first parameter to this function causes an error dialog box to be displayed when the link fails to resolve.
