sbrady,

Use the $BS_LEFT style:

$Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("1. Desktop Prep", 10, 30, 110, 30, $BS_LEFT) ; Note you need to define the height

And when you post code, please use Code tags - put [autoit] before and [/autoit] after your posted code.

Exit,

You are quite correct. I should have stated: "You need to make sure you add a height parameter" as I was only making sure that the style parameter was in the correct place.
