(Caveats: haven't tried this.)
Perhaps you could use FindWindow to get the ProgMan group's hWnd and then
use EnableWindow to disable the window. The class name for ProgMan groups
is "PMGroup".
Declare Function FindWindow% Lib "User" (ByVal lpClassName As Any, ByVal
lpWindowName As Any)
Declare Function EnableWindow% Lib "User" (ByVal hWnd%, ByVal aBOOL%)
So then you'd just say something like:
retval = EnableWindow(FindWindow("PMGroup", "Games"), False)
Hope that helps (works). :)
