I have seen this problem as well. In my case, it was always when using Adobe's PDF viewer. This seems to hang IE for long periods of time.

command prompt vs batch file speed

Hi all,

I hope this is the correct place to be asking this question...

I have this line of code: for /F usebackq %i in (`net view^|findstr \\`) do del %~ni.csv & enumservices.vbs %~ni

NOW: when i run this code through command promt directly as a command line, (i type this code into the cmd prompt and hit the enter key), this runs faster then when i put this line of code into a batch file and double click the batch file...

Can any one tell me why this is happening? (i thought it should run at the same speed?????) Cry | :((

but, i don't end the main explorer.exe!

(the main explorer.exe == the parent of processes)

second explorer.exe runs the main explorer.exe, expressly!

why does system run two, spontaneous, explorer.exe?

The explorer.exe process is also the process that acts as the operating system "shell" (your desktop, task tray, etc.) as well as the process that acts as the "explorer" window you see when you click on the "Computer" icon or the "Windows Explorer" application.

Error Deleting File or Folder
---------------------------
Cannot delete <filename>: Access is denied.

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

This is the message I get when trying to delete two files generated by MSVC 6.0. Both the .exe and the .ilk file are affected. I cannot generate a new executable because the existing one cannot be deleted. This is what VC says:

Linking...
LINK : LNK4073: cannot create map for .ILK file; linking nonincrementally
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ".\<filename>.exe"
Error executing link.exe.

Note: <filename> is a placeholder in this message for the actual name.

The .exe file no longer has its custom icon and the .ilk file is 0 bytes. I've tried logging off but that does not work.

Does anyone out there know of a tool that can perform an unconditional delete?

TIA!

Network shares & access control

Hi
Platform: XPPro/XPe
Dev Tools: VS2005, VC++, ATL, .Net

I have a service based application that requires to be able to access a network share using a unc path. There could be several unc paths on separate NT Domains.

Whilst is is possible to assign a user on each NT Domain for my application to access the share I would like to, at run time pass in the domain\user name & password, so that my app can access the appropriate files.

Each unc access will run in a separate thread and from reading the platform SDK docs it looks like I need to Set the token for this thread. However I can not find out how to convert my domain\user name & password in a token.

can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Robin

You need to call LogonUser to get a token. Then use ImpersonateLoggedOnUser to set the token for the thread. Once you've finished using the share, use RevertToSelf.

hey guys, i wonder if anyone has an easy solution for this one Wink | ;)

i have to configure a computer to use separate internet connections per application, under Windows XP

i can only do that much using the ROUTE command, and honestly that worked for me, up until certain IPs started to change and well all hell broke loose.

so does anyone know of a program (or anything appropriate) that can force a program to use a specific interface/default gateway ?

for instance: make Firefox use a wifi and IE use lan, or specify the accounting software here to go through the VPN and all other traffic through normal default gateway.

windows firewall can restrict per application, put it doesn't do what's needed.

suggestions?
thanks in advance!

Windows XP or Linux?

Benjamin Dodd15-Oct-07 4:30

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering what people in this forum preferred, Windows XP or Linux, i personally use Windows XP as I have been using Windows the majority of my life. However i have used Linux, some time ago when I installed it on my Laptop, i found it Ok considering it was a free source piece of software. Although Windows does offer functions that are not present on Linux such as disc defragmentation and disc clean up, such utility software is vital to some.

So,

What do you prefer, Windows or Linux?

Thanks

as a windows developer, i use visual studio and thus my environment is windows xp.
since i work at home and at work, i'm still forced to use windows xp.
(not that it's bad)

but i always have a dual boot into some fresh linux distro (openSUSE 10.3 and waiting to try ubuntu 7.10) on my laptop, cause i always like to play with those, but never get the chance to fully use them.

my downloading machine at home is with openSUSE 10.2 (gonna get updated Smile | :)

) and it also acts as a full time VPN server, web/ftp personal server and handles local routing/filtering.
uptime exceeds 1 year, and runs marvelously, also it plays the movies at home.

conclusion:

i know XP all too well, thus i work faster with it.
i work with XP and all my programs are designed for Windows.
other software i use (Adobe Suite, 3Ds MAX .. ) aren't available in linux.
since i'm also a gamer, linux ain't for gaming.

thus XP.

Multi dotted extension explorer register .matrix.xml

Leon van Wyk12-Oct-07 5:24

Leon van Wyk

12-Oct-07 5:24

I am trying to register a multi dotted extension into windows explorer Shell context menu (Win XP). I have a custom Excel 2003 (.xml) file that I have given a multi dotted extension like "fileName.matrix.xml". The idea is that if a user does not have the custom editor (application), it will open with Excel, which it currently does. But if the user has installed the custom editor application and I have registered this .matrix.xml file extention, it will open with the custom application. I do not what to register the .xml to open with the custom editor only if it is a .matrix.xml

Here is the Regedit script I have so far, but does not work.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.matrix.xml]
@="SODA.Matrix Customizer"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer]
@="SODA Matrix Customization File"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\SODA\\SODA Matrix Customizer.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer\Shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer\Shell\Open]
@="Open with SODA's Matrix Customization Tool"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\SODA\\SODA Matrix Customizer.exe %1"
