Is there any "built-in" way to access the parent drive "relatively" on Windows? i.e, instead of my program storing a path like K:\1\2\3 (K:\ being a USB flash drive), I'd like it to store the path without the drive letter, that way if the drive letter happens to change in the future, the stored path will still be valid because it's dyna...
I can't seem to find a solution to this issue. I'm trying to get my Compact Framework application on Windows Mobile 6 to have the ability to move a file on its local filesystem to another system. Here's the solutions I'm aware of: FTP - Problem with that is most of the APIs are way to expensive to use. HTTP PUT - As far as I have been...
Hello everyone, I have been checking out some info about 64-bit driver development; I found that drivers have to be re-written in order to be compatible with a 64 bit OS. However, I was wondering if this also holds true for User-mode drivers. The reason that I am asking this is because my understanding is that user mode drivers pass t...
I need to determine which folders contain files that have been modified "recently" (within a certain interval). I notice that folder datestamps seem to get updated whenever a contained file is modified, but this behaviour doesn't propagate up the tree, i.e. the datestamp of the folder containing the folder that contains the modified fil...

When the breakpoint is hit, Visual Studio gains focus and my next several keystrokes go into the debugger and all hell breaks lose depending ...

Hi, I wrote a very simple extension for Safari 5 that only outputs a single log message from a start script. This is the start script: console.log('start script running'); If I go to any internet page (eg. http://www.yahoo.com) the log message appears in the error console. But if I open any local html page no log message appears. By l...
We have a file system filter driver. It has a feature which encrypts some files. We implemented this feature yesterday, but after shipping the feature, when we reboot sometimes Windows will check the file system by running chkdsk. Has anyone else developing filter drivers encountered this problem? How can we solve this? ...

The Qt documentation for QWidget::activateWindow() states: On Windows, if you are calling this when the application is not currently the active one then it will not make it the active window.
