I have an app (32 bit c++) running under XP that I need to adapt to run under Windows 7 and Vista. It needs to store a few dozen bytes of data someplace independent of User. Under XP, I stored the data in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software. When I run the app on Windows 7 the registry entries are virtual-ized and each user...
I want to be able to register my file-extension from my program. (Associate the filetype with my program) There are lots of articles about this, but the technique discussed (fiddling with the registry) is only appropriate for Windows XP as far as I see. What is the best way to associate a filetype with a program so that it works under ...

But I need to disable mouse and keyboard so it wouldn't interrupt playback. I can't use JournalPlaybackProc and JournalRecordProc because they are ...

Windows 7 taskbar buttons are drawn on a shaded background. The color shade somehow reacts on where the mouse is over the button. I'd like to use such buttons in my application. How can i do that ? ...
As the title suggests, we have a Java (Swing) desktop application, and we'd like to be able to have some basic access to the Jump Lists (in the new Windows 7 taskbar). In particular, we'd like to be able to add some "user tasks" to the jump list--the ability to start other modules in our application, maybe to close all running modules, ...
On windows 7 Ultimate I can't check out SVN projects or do updates. After clicking checkout project or update it shows a dialog where I put in the project URL and then require me to type in username and password. After that the dialog just hangs there, with message the bottom "639 bytes transferred, at 0 bytes/s". If I user repo-browser ...
I want to take advantage of the new Windows 7 taskbar functionality in a .NET application and would like to know what people think is the best way to check for Windows 7 features in .NET. My aim is to have distinct code for Windows XP and Windows 7. I'm not overally keen on: just wrapping the Windows 7 code in a try catch if OS = ...
I have read the related questions on this topic, but haven't yet found a solution to this issue. I have a simple javascript function that calls window.open when a link is clicked: var newwindow; function pop(url) { newwindow=window.open(url,'','height=500,width=532'); if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus();} } This works fine...

(vs.net 2008) ...

I'm probably just being very thick here, but it's not clear to me where I'm supposed to install 'new' user-specific programs on Windows 7 (and presumably Vista too, though I've not specifically looked at that scenario yet). Under Windows XP (rightly or wrongly) we always installed our programs into folders under 'Program Files' and acce...
Original question I use Launch4j as a wrapper for my Java application under Windows 7, which, to my understanding, in essence forks an instance of javaw.exe that in turn interprets the Java code. As a result, when attempting to pin my application to the task bar, Windows instead pins javaw.exe. Without the required command line, my appl...
I was trying to run an application locally with Enterprise Library 4.1 and do logging to the event viewer. I didn't see Windows 7 under the supported operating systems.
