I second Suse.
I have previously used Fedora and Mandriva and while they are excellent 'versions' of Linux, I feel that Suse is more appearling when it comes to:
- installing/removing/updating programs
- the overall look of Suse.
Which ever you choose, Linux will not let you down.

Hey all thanx for all your replies! I've seen Suse, mandrake, knoppix and zen and im inclined to use suse more than the others though all seems equaly user friendly. Again than for all your tips and suggestions!

I have some programs I am trying to get rid of, but I can't tell what is causing them to start. For example, when I start CAD another application starts in the background. I can see a new process created. I tried to replace that program with a dummy application that does nothing, but starting CAD is still causing this other application to load, just with the internals of the window blank.
My question is if there is any way to find any information about the process that is starting my dummy application. Is there a way to obtain some type of handle to the process, preferrably using C.
Thanks,
Justin

With ProcessExplorer[^], you can see the hierarchy of the running processes, so you can see which process started some other process. It's a really cool program, and a lot better than the Windows TaskManager!

Hi, everybody!
I need help... I'm still trying to develop a kind of a firewall for WinNT/2K/XP, in C++. I'm using a program that hooks Windows API functions and it works reasonably good. The way it hooks Windows API functions is injecting the dll to every process using CreateRemoteThread().
My problem is with two functions: accept() and listen() aren't hooked (I've tried to hook them from WS2_32.DLL and WSOCK32.DLL), altough the code I've written should be hooking them (I've hooked lots of API functions the same way without a problem -CreateProcess, ExitProcess, send, recv, etc..-), but I don't seem to be able to hook those two functions.
Do you have any idea of what can be the reason for this?
Thanks a lot to all in advance.
Regards:
Javi.

When you connect an usb oder insert a cd, there always comes up that list with possible actions one can do, e.g. copy pictures with this app, or play audios with that application.
Does anyone know, how I can register my own application to be shown here? And what is the correct name for this dialog?

It's a matter of setting up the right reg entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers. If you search MSDN for "AutoplayHandlers" you should find the relevant docs.

Thank you. Now I can show and start an application. But I have still a problem with the resources. The point is, that I have to start the application in a specific place. Do you know, how I can set a working path in this case?

If nothing else changes it on startup, %SystemDrive%\.
I say it this way, because NT doesn't have to have a C drive. It can be any letter you assign to the volume. I have a machine at home that starts up on F:. So, when you open any command prompt, you don't get a "C:\>" prompt, you get "F:\>".

What do you mean by home directory? Did you mean the default directory of "My Document" folder or system or program file folder. In my opinion, these default folder you can check from the command prompt by typing the command SET and press enter.

On my PC Net.Exe is not functional except System32 folder.
I think it is the problem of path adjustment.
In the Command Prompt of Windows XP I check path configuraton by path command. The path is adjusted to
PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Fi<br />
les\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\;C:\Program Files\backburner 2\;C:\MATLABR11\bi<br />
n;C:\MATLABR11\bin;<br />
How I solve it?

What is net.exe?
Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us.
