I'm reading a file and I either read a row of data (1600 sequential reads of 17 bytes) or a column of data (1600 reads of 17 bytes separated by 1600*17=27,200 bytes). The file is either on a local drive or a remote drive. I do the reads 10 times so I expect in each case to read in 272,000 bytes of data. On the local drive, I see what ...

This is a similar question to the one I ask here. I am running on Windows XP. I am trying to get for loop to work on Windows.

Some time ago I asked about how to pop up the Windows context (right-click) menu for a certain file in Delphi. However, even if everything works (almost) OK, the 'Send to...' and 'Open with...' submenus don't have any items, even if when I right-click in Explorer on the same file name they work OK. (For example, 'Send to...' has 'Desktop...
There are some Win32 objects which according to the SDK can be "inherited" to the child-processes created by the given process. (Events, mutexes, pipes, ...) What does that actually mean? Let's say I have a named event object, created with CreateEvent, one time with bInheritHandle == true, and another time == false. Now I start a chil...

Hi, On our server (win 2008 r2) we enabled the setting "force network authentication" to enforce that the client must support the NLA, because the port 3389 is directly reachable from the internet. But on Windows XP SP3 the NLA seems to be disabled per default. As I wrote an installer with WIX to distribute the rdp files, I'd also like ...
I have a PowerShell script that connects to a web site, and parses its returned data (It's about importing a previously uploaded SQL file into the web site's data base). The PowerShell script uses wget, something I may replace by a native function later. The import process is embedded in a script that is executed by a 3rd party program ...

In Windows, is there a way to find out when an executable was last executed? It seems unlikely that something like this would be saved, but I'm open for other suggestions. It would be enough to know if it was executed "recently", for example since the computer was started, the last hour etc. I'm open for hackish ideas, like checking...
