I am trying to snoop on a log file that an application is writing to. I have successfully hooked createfile with the detours library from MSR, but createfile never seems to be called with file I am interested in snooping on. I have also tried hooking openfile with the same results. I am not an experienced windows/c++ programmer (or ev...

I'd like to provide some way of creating dynamically lodable plugins in my software. Typicial way to do this is using the LoadLibrary WinAPI fuction to load a dll and calling GetProcAddress to get an pointer to a function inside that dll.

I've been using Subversion for code control with TortoiseSVN to interface with the server for the past few months, and in general it's been going great! However, occasionally my FoxPro IDE will change the case of a file extension without warning where "program.prg" becomes "program.PRG") TortoiseSVN apparently takes this to mean the fi...
I'm creating a plugin framework, where my application loads a series of plugin DLL's, then creates a new window and pass this new window's handle to the plugin. The plugin can, then, use this handle to create their own GUI. Everything seems to be working very well. The only problem is that when I press TAB on a plugin widget (An editbox...
I'd like to know what's the way to actually set the icon of a .bat file to an arbitrary icon. How would I go about doing that programmatically, independently of the language I may be using. ...
One of my favourite tools for linux is lsof - a real swiss army knife! Today I found myself wondering which programs on a WinXP system had a specific file open. Is there any equivalent utility to lsof? Additionally, the file in question was over a network share so I'm not sure if that complicates matters. ...
Does anyone have a recommendation for an NFS client for Vista Home Premium? Preferably open source, but I'll take free (as in beer) if that's not available or even a commercial product if it is clearly the best option. I know there is a client built into Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Vista, but I'd rather not upgrade just for NFS...
I have a bunch of files that I need to be able to transport and install quickly. My current method for doing so is moving a flash drive with a readme file of where stuff goes whenever I need to move stuff, which is rather inelegant and cumbersome. My idea for a solution would be to write up a quick script to move files around that I cou...
I'm new to windows programming and I'm trying to get notified of all changes to the file system (similar to the information that FileMon from SysInternals displays, but via an API). Is a FindFirstChangeNotification for each (non-network, non-substed) drive my best bet or are there other more suitable C/C++ APIs? ...
How do I open the default mail program with a Subject and Body in a cross-platform way? Unfortunately, this is for a a client app written in Java, not a website. I would like this to work in a cross-platform way (which means Windows and Mac, sorry Linux). I am happy to execute a VBScript in Windows, or AppleScript in OS X. But I have n...
So I've got plain python downloaded, so I can run .py files from the command line. Now I want to step it up, have a debugger, be able to call .net or other Windows things, etc... What's my next step? What's a good Python environment for Windows? ...

Am I correct in assuming that the only difference between "windows files" and "unix files" is the linebreak? We have a system that has been moved from a windows machine to a unix machine and are having troubles with the format. I need to automate the tranlation between unix/windows before the files get delivered to the system in our "...
One of the bullet point features for Windows Vista Enterprize and Ultimate is the Unix subsystem for windows, which allows you to write posix... stuff? Anyway I'm outa my league talking about it... Anyone use this feature? Or explain it... I know next to nothing about Unix programming, I'm interested in learning though. ...
I am looking for a robust way to copy files over a Windows network share that is tolerant of intermittent connectivity. The application is often used on wireless, mobile workstations in large hospitals, and I'm assuming connectivity can be lost either momentarily or for several minutes at a time. The files involved are typically about 20...
