Hello, Does anybody know how to customize the Windows Jump-List feature related to my own application in C#? I know it can be done, but I cannot find anything C#/Windows7 related on MSDN yet. The only info related to W7 and C# I can find so far is just compatibility junk which I've already read. Thanks all Baeltazor ...
So we're re-designing a desktop application so that it's also usable with thye Touch Interface with Windows 7. We've consulted the UX guidelines. For some part of the UI, there are toolbox icons that are disabled because of some arcane rules (the software communicates with a hardware device). We disable the actions that aren't applicabl...
I would like to know how to read, via vbscript, WMI, Powershell etc -the new Windows 7 Action center messages that the user normally gets informed of. I want to read all those messages on each machine and store then in a central database, then disable the messages from displaying to the user on the local machines. My questions are - 1....
Quickie question: I'm toying with some of the new taskbar APIs in Windows 7 and have gotten Recent Items on my Apps jumplist to show up, but I would like to display them under a different title than the filename (most files my app will be opening will have very similar names). I don't see any way to do that with the IShellItem interface,...
I recently installed Windows 7 on my desktop and the following problem has begun occuring: I regularly run some PHP scripts from the commandline that are now giving this error in a popup window: CLI has stopped working. I cancel this and my script terminates. Not good... I've googled around and tried most of the few ideas suggested ...
While testing out a UDP multicast server that I've written on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, I came across a most curious thing. Playing music with foobar2000 in the background significantly improved the server's transmission rate yet also incurred minor packet loss. Turning the music off immediately dropped the transmission rate to below accep...
Hi, I'm using Windows 7 and Tortoise SVN. (although the same applies to Vista) If, for exampe, I want to download a repo by using the context menu option "SVN Checkout", and want to checkout the files inetpub folder (UAC protected), tortoise SVN cannot due to UAC and gives an "Access Denied" error. How can I run Tortoise SVN via the ...
I am running windows7 on my laptop, and all is well, but I am jealous of the multitouch on macs. I don't really know how all of this "works", but i'm imagining that it couldn't be that hard to write a program to patch into windows that allows this. Currently, if I put two fingers on the pad and drag around, it sortv half-heartedly tries...
In Win XP, for my svn repository folders in Windows Explorer, I added an extra column called "SVN Status" (or similar). I used it to determine which files were modified, added, not versioned, etc. You can do this by switching to the details view Windows Explorer, right-clicking on the column list, and choosing "More...". After insta...
XAMPP is unable to start Apache or MySQL on a windows 7 system when run from a flashdrive. The control panel indicates that the server is starting, but it never actually comes online. Additionally, the control panel process refuses to end; Task Manager end tasking is required to make it stop. Is there a specialized setting either in X...
Windows Vista and 7 has this switch in Network and Sharing Center. It's on by default, and that prevents unauthenticated access to shares even if they're shared with Everyone (like the Public folder). I need to teach my application to turn it on and off automagically. How? I suspect there is a value somewhere in the registry that's respo...
I would like to control the name of my application as it appears in the UAC dialog. Right now it shows up as something like "MyCompany.MyApp.exe"; I would prefer something like "MyApp Pro". In other words, I would like a short, friendly phrase instead of the raw EXE file name. I noticed that MMC.EXE appears in the UAC dialog as "Microso...
I have some ideas for improvements on my touchpad, ranging from the run of the mill scroll horizontally at the bottom, tapzones for right click, to more complicated ones. But I have no idea where to get started? I'm working on Windows 7 Home Premium, its an Asus laptop, and I have none of these options natively available to me. Regardles...
Has anybody tried to use the native windows 7 ribbon control in a WTL app? I mean the control behind: #include <UIRibbon.h> or an example for the MFC. (i don't talk about the ribbons from the MFC Feature Pack!) --- Sven ...
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2008 on a Windows 7 x64 machine and I am unable to install it and don't want to give up Windows 7. Below is the error log.

I'm traversing the registry on Windows 7 from C#. When opening certain subkeys, I get a SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed. An example is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer". I've searched similar questions and found suggestions to run Visual Studio with Administrator privileges. I tried t...

I remember using Named Pipes for communicating between 2 machines (back in Windows NT). How come now I read that Named Pipes are only for Inter Process Communication in the SAME machine? (in Vista and Windows 7) ...
We are rewriting our app to make it Windows Vista/7 compliant. In order to do that, I need to delete all the previous data in the application directory under %PROGRAMFILES%. This definitely will not work in user mode, and also doesn't appear to work programmatically in admin mode. I am trying to use the following line of code: File.D...
After discovering on superuser that there is no current way to add syntax highlighting to the Windows 7 preview pane, I figured if someone else hasn't done it yet then I'll go ahead and do it myself. Is there an API or SDK available for Windows 7 that exposes the preview pane in explorer to customization? If so, what is it and how do y...
