I open Windows Explorer and enter an IP for a computer on my home network (\192.168.1.101). It takes 30 seconds or more to present a list of the shared folders. Once they appear, navigating through folders and opening files is fast. Suspecting that the remote computer was being automatically indexed or something, I went into Tools->Fold...

In the following code, I receive INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE for the value of b, and c is set to 87, ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. HANDLE a = ::CreateFileA("\\\\.\\h:", GEN...
We were testing our WPF application on Windows XP in the VMware Player (with VMware Tools) and noticed that dropdowns were buggy in that all the choices would appear when you clicked on the ComboBox but as you moused over them they would disappear.

I have gotten everthing to work really well on multiple Windows 7 computers with only 2 dlls and 1 exe for most applications! Unfortunately, on XP I get: the application failed to start because the application con...

On XP in Firefox, I load a flash button in a layer that sits above a scrollable div in the z-index. When my flash button is over the background of an empty scrollable div it does not respond to mouse clicks. If I drag the layer so that the scrollable div is no longer behind the flash button, it works as expected. Anyone have any insigh...

I am looking for a native capability ...
