Here's the URL on Microsoft's site:

The Windows Interface Guidelines for Software Design
http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/msdnlib.idc?theURL=/library/books/winguide/P
LATFRM2/D5/S115B5.HTM

This is an online version of a slim book they also sell through Microsoft
Press.

Incidentally, I think the Microsoft standard for Save As is that after the
Save As is complete, the "current" filename should be the one that you
targeted the Save As at.   (Contrary to your proposed way of doing it).
However I can't find a page in the above reference that supports that.  It
just appears to be the way most MS apps work.

I'm not saying its right....<grin>
