MSDN advises that RegisterWindowMessage() function is only used for registering messages to be sent between the processes. If a message is needed for sending within one process it can be safely selected from the range WM_APP through 0xBFFF. However in our codebase I often see that RegisterWindowMessage() is used for messages only sent w...

I've tried obvious things like: // Just opens the folder Process.Start("F:"); // Ditto Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo("F:") {UseShellExecute = true}); // Throws System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No applicati...
I call RegisterEventSource() function during my service stop. But it is returning null during system shutdown. Is there any reason for this behavior? Error: I get error code 0x800706b5 on GetLastError() When googled, I came to know that it has something to do with missing registry data. Also, how to check if system shutdown has starte...

Anyway, the code I have that drives pip.py appears to have some prob...
What tools and techniques are available for optimizing the working set for a large Windows application? There used to be tools like WST and SWS, but they appear to be deprecated. We think we can get runtime performance improvements by moving or removing less used code and resources, thereby optimizing the working set for our program. ...
Within a Thread in IRQL 0 the completion routine, triggered from an IRP, for a WskSendTo call is sometimes in IRQL 2 and sometimes in IRQL 0. This seems mighty strange to me. Does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? ...
Was wondering how you'd do the following in Windows: From a c shell script (extension csh), I'm running a Python script within an 'eval' method so that the output from the script affects the shell environment. Looks like this: eval `python -c "import sys; run_my_code_here(); "` Was wondering how I would do something like the eval sta...
When I display a WPF window with WindowStyle="None", it looks great when using areo. However, when I use luna or classic, it displays an ugly gray border about 5 pixels wide.

I would like to find the height/width of an image on disk without opening it, if possible (for performance reasons). The Windows properties pane for images contains information like width, height, bit depth, etc., which leads me to believe that it is storing metadata on the file somewhere.

I am working on a Windows program codebase that has heretofore been 32-bit. I am trying to make this codebase 64-bit clean. Turning on “top down” allocations in the heap manager by setting the “AllocationPreference” registry value has been very helpful in turning up bugs where code was guilty of coercing pointers down to 32-bit values (s...
