The File.listFiles() method lists the contents of a folder. On windows however, when you call the method on your root drive, it also yields some - in lack of a better phrase - "virtual" folders (Like "Documents and Settings", which got replaced by "Users" in recent windows versions). If you then call listFiles() for one of those "virtua...
Drivers on Windows should be signed and submitted to Microsoft for code signing and this is a requirement for 64 bit systems. The problem is that, when you have to update the driver, you have to submit it again, once for every release. Is possible to build some kind of proxy or shim driver so that I have to sign and submit it only once,...

So far, so good. The thing is, if I want to share this printer from an x64 system to an x86 system, the x64 print server needs to have the ad...

Hi, I've used the WinVerifyTrust example from here, but I'm finding that it is getting a TRUST_E_NOSIGNATURE for some files that SysInternals sigcheck reports as signed. For example, c:\windows\system32\mfc42.dll is reported by WinVerifyTrust as signed, but c:\windows\system32\mfc42u.dll is reported as unsigned -- sigcheck reports both...
I'm seeking suggestions for tools I can use on Windows to perform simple scripting and general Java development related tasks on a command line or other non-GUI interface (i.e. moving files about, starting/stopping servers, running Maven, etc.).

I am trying to send output from a DOS command that normally is displayed on screen to an FTP site. I know I can do it in two steps (redirect to a file and then ftp the file), but I am hoping to skip the materializing it as a file first (it's going to be a big file). Example: I can create a directory list file: dir c:\ >c:\dirlist.txt a...

What is the fastest timing system a C/C++ programmer can use? For example: time() will give the seconds since Jan 01 1970 00:00. GetTickCount() on Windows will give the time, in milliseconds, since the system's start-up time, but is limited to 49.7 days (after that it simply wraps back to zero). I want to get the current time, or ticks...
