I need to create a application that will allow a Windows PC (XP/Vista) to emulate a thumbdrive. That is, when the PC is plugged into either another Windows system, or in this case, a piece of hardware that allows for USB thumbdrives to be plugged in, a folder on the computer looks like a giant thumbdrive. Any thoughts on where a guy wo...
Is there any way to check from .NET if windows update is enabled? I want to prompt the users every time they log into my app that their computer might be at risk and give them a link to windows update website (or windows update application from control panel). Preferably it should work on XP, Vista and Windows 7. Maybe there is a regis...
Hi, I've been trying to look around the various .NET class library's for some where I can get the logged in user of the local machine, either connected to a domain or not. So far System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal LoggedUser = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal as System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal; // This retu...
Hello, I have a process with an open filehandle to a file. I need to detect if this file has been deleted by another process (there may be a file with the same name in its place). On UNIX I was comparing the inodes of my filehandle and the file-path via stat, but this doesn't work on Win32. How can I do this in Perl? Thanks, -Peter ...
Hi, I have a program that is using a configuration file. I would like to tie the configuration file to the PC, so copying the file on another PC with the same configuration won't work. I know that Windows Activation Mecanism is monitoring hardware to detect changes and that it can tolerates some minor changes to the hardware. Is the...
I have a basic app written with ATL, using the wizard with VS2008. I have a treeview in the left side of the app. I see how to (painfully) add tree items. Question is how do I show a menu when the mouse is right clicked? How do I trap any click events on each item that could be selected? ...
This is a followup question to one I previously asked: start-program-if-not-already-running-in-java I didn't get a great solution there (as there doesn't appear to be one), but I have a related question: Is there anyway to launch an application in Java code (an .exe in Windows, not a Java app) and have it start minimized? Or perhaps ...
I have the following code that tries to tie arrays to files. Except, when I run this code, it only creates 2045 files. What is the issue here? #!/usr/bin/perl use Tie::File; for (my $i = 0; $i < 10000; $i++) { @files{$i} = (); tie @{$files{$i}}, 'Tie::File', "files//tiefile$i"; } Edit: I am on windows ...

I am testing a driver for which we haven't got WHQL certification yet. So I need to disable driver signing before I install the driver. Does any one know how to disable this on Vista XP1 64-bit version through command line or some other program? I don't want to do an F8 everytime the system boots to disable driver signing. I tried the ...
I've got a fairly simple Windows service running on testbed EC2 nodes right now that basically: Calls a Web Service on a machine in our local data center when the service starts (the service is set to Automatic startup, so it runs when the instance comes online). Calls another Web Service once a minute as a monitoring heartbeat. Calls ...
I have several hundred *.mp3 files in c:\files. There are all imaginable filenames in there like milad.mp3 (good behaving) hey you.mp3 (space in filename) systemofadown.mp3 (long filename) howdy(1).mp3 (parentheses in filename) and any combination of the last three conditions. I want to rename the files to 001-test.mp3, 002-mp3, ... ...
What is the C# equivalent to this CryptExportKey call? CryptExportKey(hKey, hPublicKey, SIMPLEBLOB, 0, lpData, &nSize); and it would be nice if you can give a description on your C# code where hKey, hPublicKey and SIMPLEBLOB (or their equivalent in C#) are being used ...
Given two file path strings with potentially different casing and slashes ('\' vs '/'), is there a quick way (that does not involve writing my own function) to normalize both paths to the same form, or at least to test them for equivalence? I'm restricted to WinAPI and standard C++. All files are local. ...
As I'm sure most of y'all are, I'm tired of having to press the SHIFT key every time I write a function call in C#, or for that matter any language. So, is their any way to cause the "[" key on my keyboard to type a "(" on the screen, and also cause the "]" key to cause a ")" to be typed on the screen? ...
dir /b produces a nice file-only list dir /x produces a detailed listing (date, time, size, longname, shortname) if you combine the two (i. e. dir /b /x) the /x switch gets ignored. this behavior as per this page is by design. so if you ask for a simple list containing only of shortnames of files, redmont says it is against the rules ...
I am currently developing an application in python 3 and i need to be able to hide certain files from the view of people. i found a few places that used the win32api and win32con but they don't seem to exist in python 3. Does anyone know if this is possible without rolling back or writing my own attribute library in C++ ...

I'm creating a process on Windows from Java. My problem is that this process doesn't terminate.
