In C++ Windows app, I launch several long running child processes (currently I use CreateProcess(...) to do this. I want the child processes to be automatically closed if my main processes crashes or is closed. Because of the requirement that this needs to work for a crash of the "parent", I believe this would need to be done using so...

I'm looking for a very simple tool to monitor the bandwidth of all my applications. No need for extra features like traffic spying, I'm just interested by bandwidth. I already know Wireshark (which is great), but what I'm looking for is more something like TcpView (great tool from Sysinternals) with current bandwidth indication. PS: I...
How do I create a windows application that does the following: it's a regular GUI app when invoked with no command line arguments specifying the optional "--help" command line argument causes the app to write usage text to stdout then terminate it must be a single executable. No cheating by making a console app exec a 2nd executable. ...
How do I capture the output of "%windir%/system32/pnputil.exe -e"? (assume windows vista 32-bit) Bonus for technical explanation of why the app normally writes output to the cmd shell, but when stdout and/or stderr are redirected then the app writes nothing to the console or to stdout/stderr? C:\Windows\System32>PnPutil.exe --help Mic...
I have a windows laptop (thinkpad) and somewhat recently rediscovered emacs and the benefit that all those wacky shortcuts can be when the arrow keys are located somewhere near you right armpit. I was discouraged after php-mode, css-mode, etc, under mmm-mode was inconsistent, buggy, and refused to properly interpret some of my files. (I...

I've been using the following code to open Office Documents, PDF, etc. on my windows machines using Java and it's working fine, except for some reason when a filename has embedded it within it multiple contiguous spaces like "File[SPACE][SPACE]Test.doc". How can I make this work? I'm not averse to canning the whole piece of code... but...
We try to use Java and UTF-8 on Windows. The application writes logs on the console, and we would like to use UTF-8 for the logs as our application has internationalized logs. It is possible to configure the JVM so it generates UTF-8, using -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 as arguments to the JVM. It works fine, but the output on a Windows console...

Hi, Is there a way to guarantee that a file on Windows (using the NTFS file system) will use contiguous sectors on the hard disk? In other words, the first chunk of the file will be stored in a certain sector, the second chunk of the file will be stored in the next sector, and so on. I should add that I want to be able to create this f...
I'm using Windows and I'm trying to get ANT to work. When I do an ant build from the command line, I get: C:\dev\Projects\springapp\${%ANT_HOME%}\lib not found.

How do you store file permissions in a repository? A few files need to be read-only to stop a third party program from trashing it but after checking out of the repository they are set to read-write. I looked on google and found a blog post from 2005 that states that Subversion doesn't store file-permissions. There are patches and hook-...
