need some advice in creating a re-usable platform

hi there,

Can anyone give me some pointers in how i would go about this:

1. I create a starter EXE application which loads on starter.
2. A folder called say "modules" contains a separate DLL file for each
module (inventory, fieldsales, support, tracking, etc)
3. When the starter EXE loads, it checks the modules folder for DLLs and
dynamically adds their icon resource to the starter EXE main menu screen
(probably a listview).
4. When the user selects the module from the main menu, it should start the
app forms, which is within the DLL module.

thanks for any advice and help.
regards,
Paul
