I've been having problems with a third-party application that uses UDP broadcasts to configure some propitiatory networked hardware and I think I've worked out what's going on. It seems that all outgoing broadcast packets are being lost because of bunch of entries in my routing table that route broadcast packets to a non-existent link-lo...

I tried creating a few bogus domains in my hosts file by pointing them to 127.0.0.1 but when I type them in I am automatically redirected back to localhost. I have also configured virtualhosts...
This code open(sUrl,'','width=791,height=550,left=800,top=0',true); works as expected from a .HTA on XP/IE8. It also works as expected from a .HTM on XP/IE8 as well as Windows 7/IE8 However IF sUrl points to a site listed in IE's Local Intranet Security Zone when used in a .HTA on Windows 7/IE8 it then opens sUrl but it does so in a de...

I am trying to display search results in the windows 7 explorer thru the federated search feature, from a local .net assembly. (not from a web service) I have found various tutorials, but all of them are for web services. Earlier I thought that it was not possible but then, I came across the StickyNotes federated search connector. The c...

Hi We have a suite of programs that check for new versions at startup, and then download new versions to run if required. This is obviously a problem in Windows 7, when it is locked down as a 'standard user', as they can't write to the c:\program files directory and below. Anyone seen a example of an application that gets around with is...

Running the code it draws properly the Plus and Minus...

I am a long-time Mac user looking to gain a decent understanding of Windows. I want to be able to control the environment, understand how the OS fits together and, eventually I guess, think about application development. I'm not really interested in the history except as it is still relevant to Windows 7. I'm competent with the Mac and ...
