ABSTRACT:
Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention operate to intercept a call directed to a common dialog function and to redirect that call to another more desirable proxy function. An action module providing an internal function that makes a call to the external function is loaded into memory. The action module's import address table is accessed. The external function is identified within the import address table, and an address associated with the external function is replaced with an address to be used to access the proxy function. In one embodiment, the proxy function is designed to utilize settings acquired programmatically and is able to replace a common dialog function, thus, eliminating the need for user interaction to perform a particular task.
