Windows GUI applications written in C/C++ have 'WinMain' as an entry point (rather than 'main'). My understanding of this is that the compiler generates a 'main' function to be called by the C Runtime. This 'main' function sets up the necessary environment for the GUI and calls into 'WinMain' (specifying the instance handles etc.). In s...
Environment - VS2008, Vista SP1. I have written a process management service which can launch applications either in session 0 or the interactive console (usually 1).

I noticed that my app sends icons to the Windows tray with a size of 16x16 pixels--and my Vista PC I've got a doublewide taskbar that appears to show icons at 18x18. The resizing artifacts on my app's icon look awful. How can I ask Windows what size the icons should be? edit: I'm generating the icon dynamically, with a pixel font text...
I'm running Emacs 23.0.60.1, downloaded from here, on Windows XP, with a network printer configured as the default printer. How do I setup Emacs to easily print buffer contents?
