Borderless TForm with drop shadow

I have made a TForm derivative that acts like the drop down part of a combo, or a hint window, or a popup menu - a temporary thing. It has no caption - its BorderStyle is set to bsNone. The form is displayed non-modally using Show, having set its position. To make it stand out, it needs a drop shadow around its border. However, a conseq...

Read public MSMQ remotely from Windows XP

I'm trying to read a public MSMQ from a remote (Server 2008) machine. I know XP has MSMQ 3.0, and I've found some information that it doesn't support transactional, non-local receiving. Does that include trying to read from a remote queue? I've tried all sorts of combinations, and the only way I can read a message from the queue is by...

Our Windows file server has an archive service installed that "stubs" files that have not been accessed for a defined period of time. When a request for the stubbed file is sent to the server, the archive service replaces the stub with the original document and serves it to the user.

Is there any way to guarantee a minimum processor time allocation % for specific processes on Windows CE or XP Embedded?

I'm looking for a capability similar to Windows System Resource Manager to allocate minimum percentages of processor time to specific processes, but on constrained non-server Windows platforms such as CE and XP (Vista/7 are not an option here). For example, I'd like to assign minimum 60% CPU and 25% I/O bandwidth to a foreground full sc...

First of all, when I start the application normally (double-clicking on the exe), it works perfectly: the notify icon is always appearing in the system tray. It also works well when the application is launched at the end of an msi Setup (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1668274/run-exe-after-msi-installation). However, when the applic...

Windows file attributes / version of file

I know for dll files you can read an Assembly version, but I was wondering if there's some way to mark or read versions from ANY filetype (jpg for example). I'm making an update program that only updates what's necessary and it'd be better if all files were versioned instead of keeping track of versions in a separate file. Oh and this i...

When you save an html file "completely"(as opposite to "just html"), the html file and an associated resource folder will be saved.
