I'm interested in using API spying/hijacking to implement some core features of a project I'm working on. It's been mentioned in this question as well, but that wasn't really on topic so I figured it'd be better with a question of its own for this., I'd like to gather as much information as possible on this, different techniques/librari...
There is a limitation on Windows Server 2003 that prevents you from copying extremely large files, in proportion to the amount of RAM you have. The limitation is in the CopyFile and CopyFileEx functions, which are used by xcopy, Explorer, Robocopy, and the .NET FileInfo class. Here is the error that you get: Cannot copy [filename]:...

I've never had a problem learning a new language (I mucked around with Java a few years ago and whilst I could write it I just didn't like it as a language...

I need a function that, given a path, tells me whether it is a Recycle Bin folder. I tried using functions like SHGetSpecialFolderPath with CSIDL_BITBUCKET, but that doesn't work because the Recycle Bin is a virtual folder that is the union of the Recycle Bins of all drives. This question is to document a response posted in http://blo...
As part of our product we use 3rd party hardware and drivers. Unfortunately, these drivers aren't signed so up pops the "Found new hardware wizard" when installing or upgrading our product. Our product is web based and allows the users access to everything they need remotely, apart from this one case. Is there a registry hack or other...
This has been a problem that I haven't been able to figure out for sometime. Preventing the second instance is trivial and has many methods, however, bringing back the already running process isn't. I would like to: Minimized: Undo the minimize and bring the running instance to the front. Behind other windows: Bring the application t...

Trying the easy approach: sqlite2 mydb.db .dump | sqlite3 mydb-new.db I got this error: SQL error near line 84802: no such column: Ð In that line the script is this: INSERT INTO vehiculo VALUES(127548,'21K0065217',Ñ,'PA007808',65217,279,1989,3,468,'1998-07-30 00:00:00.000000','14/697/98-07',2,'',1); My guess is that the...

I've googled for a while and haven't found any page indicating how to do th...
We have multiple MFC apps, which use CMutex( false, "blah" ), where "blah" allows the mutex to work across process boundaries. One of these apps was re-written without MFC (using Qt instead). How can I simulate the CMutex using Win32 calls? (Qt's QMutex is not inter-process.) I prefer not to modify the MFC apps. ...
I need to copy the newest file in a directory to a new location. So far I've found resources on the forfiles command, a date-related question here, and another related question. I'm just having a bit of trouble putting the pieces together! How do I copy the newest file in that directory to a new place? ...
