Hi, Say there is a group policy that prevents the user from using the "run" command in Windows. What would happen if there was a registry key that contradicted this i.e. allowed the user to use the run command? Would the user be able to use "run" or not? Thanks a lot for any answer! ...

Using Java over Windows Vista, I'm trying to create a kind of a monitor for a directory, so every time this directory is modified (new, renamed, updated or deleted files) a process is triggered. I tried to do this with a loop that will execute a dir in the directory and analyze all the files. But this is very time and memory consuming, s...
Is there a way to unlock a file on Windows with a Python script? The file is exclusively locked by another process. I need a solution without killing or interupting the locking process. I already had a look at portalocker, a portable locking implementation. But this needs a file handle to unlock, which I can not get, as the file is alre...

I have a mutex that controls access to a single object from multiple threads. When a thread has finished the mutex is unlocked to allow order threads to operate on the object. On Windows using the WaitForSingleObject function is there an order that threads are signaled? I want the first thread that attempts to lock the mutex to now be al...
Suppose you have some source code that comes from the unix world. This source consists of a few files which will create a library and a lot of small .c files (say 20 or so) that are compiled into command-line tools, each with their own main() function, that will use the library. On unixy systems you can use a makefile to do this easily...
I'm writing a C# app that will aggregate control of several applications (WMP, Google Earth, etc.). For apps that I am not writing myself, I am launching as a process, so I have their handles (handle = Process.Start("C:\whatever.exe"); is the code, I believe). For it to work smoothly, I need to be able to control the minimized/maximized...
Say you have a text file - what's the fastest and/or most memory efficient way to determine the number of lines of text in that file? Is it simply a matter of scanning through it character by character and looking for newline characters? ...
I can easily identify running processes by looping through the WMI Win32_Process elements. Is there a similar way to identify "applications" as in Task Manager? I assume that this is comparable to knowing whether the process has an open window. For example, when you exit Outlook, the OUTLOOK.EXE process keeps running. Task Manager no...

I'm looking for a way to sign some data in C++ code which will then be sent to a PHP script for verification and processing. I want to use the OpenSSL module there, namely the *openssl_verify* function so I need something compatible with that.
