But how can I derive a Windows session ID by only user name? (Of course, if the user is not logged, no session id can be derived). My situation is the following: I have a service (sy...

Hello all, my current work tasking requires creating a firefox plugin. I've done this relatively easily on Linux but porting to windows has exposed a peculiar problem.

I assume this is not an actual limitation of the processor, because other compilers (GCC and Clang) support this intrinsic for both 32 and 64 bit compiles. My firs...

Hope you guys know the answer. Thanks ...
