Hi, I am running the following statement from a client machine that has psexec installed on it: c:\pstools\psexec.exe \mmtsrv05 -u ppa99 -p password -d -i cmd.exe /c c:\test.bat This basically executes test.bat on server mmtsrv05. The test.bat program just has the notepad.exe call in it. This is what happens: it creates the cmd.exe a...
Hi, I have done changes in registry (proxy settings) via Windows programming code. I have to restart (reopen) Internet Explorer each time I run the code to make those changes take effect. Is there any API in Windows programming through which I can notify Internet Explorer or Windows that changes are made to the registry and there will...
I frequently work from home using our corporate vpn. I have noticed that when connected to the vpn the browser doesn't use my internet connection, everything is passed through the vpn. Is there a way to force my browser to use my local internet connection for surfing the web while connected to the vpn? ...
A puzzle that hit me. In some simple test harness code, if I stream too many characters to stdout, the program fails. Strange but very reproducable. This may be a Windows only issue, but it's easy to see: #include <iostream> #include <deque> using namespace std; int main() { deque<char> d; char c; while (cin.get(c)) d.push_b...
How would I go about checking to see if a specific program is done running? I'm attempting to make a script that runs a series of .exe's (specifically and setup program and a number of patches) in order automatically. So far I've been able to get them to run at the same time, but that's obviously not what I need. How can I get them t...
I'm trying to determine some of the details of how HWND_BROADCAST works. Unfortunately, MSDN doesn't have a specific page for this value; it's only mentioned in passing in several other articles, such as the ones for SendMessage and PostMessage. What I specifically want to know is whether messages sent to HWND_BROADCAST are received by ...
I've often heard that using system("PAUSE") is bad practice and to use std::cin.get() instead. Now my understanding of system calls is that they take a string which they enter into a system command line and talk with the OS, so PAUSE is a DOS command that pauses the output in the command window. I assume this works similarly with Mac and...
My coding platform is a Vista machine with 4GB RAM. And while the machine is slick, I know there are 800MB of RAM that is not used at all. (only about 3.2GB or 4GB is used). can I installed something to help my platform for coding? I think Wubi will not be able to use those RAM, but VMware or VirtualPC might be? Or a RAM disk so tha...
The cross platform dev environment I use has a built in function that is supposed to indicate whether or not a tcp port is available. However, the function malfunctions under Vista and always returns "available". Is there an easy way, such as a dll function, I can use to correctly determine this information without needing .Net? ...
i'm not able to delete my old data directory in windows 7. i already uninstalled PostgreSQL, but there's still the system service user account "postgres", who's the only one with access-rights to the folder. possible solution would be to develop a service, running as "postgres" user, which deletes the folder, but there must be an easier...
How does one retrieve a network share comment in Windows ? ...
Trying to find the object property for Access to get the default file location so I can script an update to it. Example: this grabs the stuff from Word and tells me where the user file, and template paths point Const wdDocumentsPath = 0 Const wdWorkgroupTemplatesPath = 3 Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set objOptions = ob...
I'm trying to find a basic example, tutorial, or blog post on how to write a printer port monitor. I downloaded the Windows DDK and dug through localmon, but it appears that this sample is much more complex than just the nuts and bolts basics and from my understanding it is a bit different than an OEM port monitor because of how it hand...
Is there an api in windows that retrieves the server name from a UNC path ? (\\server\share) Or do i need to make my own ? I found PathStripToRoot but it doesn't do the trick. ...
I have SVN running on my main windows development box on my home network. I access the server from various development laptops depending on what I'm doing. I also do this with a Mac OS X development laptop but I apparently have to use the IP Address of the SVN Server. This is causing problems because the IP address of the SVN server ch...

Hi, Got some code that is not mine and its producing this warning atm: iehtmlwin.cpp(264) : warning C4996: 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>::copy': Function call with parameters that may be unsafe - this call relies on the caller to check that the passed values are correct. To disable this warning, use -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. ...
Or to ask it another way, how OnEraseBkgnd() works? I'm building a custom control and I hit on this problem. Childs are rectangles, as usual. I had to disable OnEraseBkgnd() and I use only the OnPaint(). What I need is to efficiently clear the area behind the childs and without flickering. Techniques like using back buffers are not an o...
