I was puzzled seeing this. My vmware virtual machine was running and I was monitoring the size of the virtual disk file. The size of the file kept increasing but 'last modified' date remained unchanged. How is this possible? Confused. My host OS is windows vista and guest (which I guess doesn't matter) is Linux. ...
The software I'm working on needs to be able to connect to many servers in a short period of time, using TCP/IP. The software runs under Win32. If a server does not respond, I want to be able to quickly continue with the next server in the list. Sometimes when a remote server does not respond, I get a connection timeout error after roug...
If I create a new app, and associate with, say, the .xml file extension on a particular computer, when someone double clicks the .xml file, it will launch my app and pass the file as parameter. But Windows seems to know what other files have the ability to work with that file type. How is that set up? Also, when I save a Microsoft Wo...
In Windows, is there a simple way (i.e. something you could type on a single command line) to just play a couple of .mp3 files and then exit on its own? wmplayer, for example, does not seem to exit when finished, forcing the harried user to hunt it down and click it closed every time. (wmplayer 11 also seems to strangely repeat some f...

Where would be the best "standard" place to put an application's debug log file in a Windows user environment? In this particular case, it is an application that is run once and could go wrong. It will be run by system administrator types who may need to inspect the log after the application is run. Everytime the application is run, a...
I'm working with the iTunes COM API on Windows. I'd like to manage the enormous delay that occurs when instantiating the iTunes object (which has to launch iTunes itself). I was hoping there was a way to determine the following: if a given CLSID is registered on the system (programatically) if an instance of a given CLSID is already cr...

I don't know RC scripts. I want to include Product version, File version, etc. metadata into a DLL I'm building. I'm using an .rc file to do that. The build is makefile driven. I'm following along with an example .rc scrpit I found. The template .rc file includes afxres.h , but I don't think I need that. But if I just remove it I ...
In my application (C', Windows Forms) I have got a telephone information screen: if there is an incoming phone call a window with additional information to the caller is shown.
