ok... well thank you, i think i was wrong... i'm still wondering how does winamp to be lightning-quick!! Last thing....

Also, adding strings to a listbox (which is also dead slow on its own) is something totally different than displaying images. You can't compare apples with peaches (or whatever the expression is), and that goes too for comparing a search on filenames (or sound names for that matter) and displaying the found strings, with a searching on images (which you essentially will be doing) and displaying images...
in fact i don't want to compare nor show images, just their shortcuts and the preview of the highlighted one. only one image is shown at a time, and search is done only through the "not-so-huge" 7-chars emo shortcuts list
