Yes, LLTD was installed on the XP machine. That allowed the XP machine to show up on Vista's network map, but had no effect on its ability to connect.

And I presume it doesn't matter if you use the IP address in place of the computer name?
As the steps to take to enable File & Printer sharing are different in Vista than WinXP, may I presume that all is OK there?

In trying to determine if it was a DNS issue, I did indeed use the IP addresses.

I can only assume so since that item was installed on both LAN connections, as well as in the firewall's exception list.

Yes, you can use your own API.

HI All,
I want windows to execute my program's exe automatically when it is shutting down. How we can do this ? This is same like putting your exe in startup folder so that windows execute it when it is starting up but what about shutdown. Please let me know if anybody has done this before.
Thanks in advance

I have not done this before, but it is possible by editing the group policy.
Open up gpedit.msc (from run or alike) then go Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) -> Shutdown
Im not sure how easy/hard it would be to do this via c++ though...
(note that that you can choose to run at logoff, or shutdown, two different times...)

It worked.
I appreciate your help.

Cool  ,
Just out of curiosity, can I ask what your program does?

I am having my laptop I wanted to log its startup time and shutdown time in a text file so that i can see whether my laptop was used when I was not at home. 
thanks

There is another way you can do that, i'm quite sure windows has it, but i cant remember what its called, you can like make it log things for differnt accounts. But your own program is probably allready better.
If you end up not wanting people to use it at all then just specify a power on and bios password, and protect all windows accounts with passwords
//Johannes

|
|
|

Yes you are right.
But I enjoyed making this small program
and also I want to catch my brother as he is saying that he does not uses my laptop and works on his own desktop. Lets see
v
|
|
|
|
|
Haha yea, stuff like that is fun make it like do weird stuff to, so he thinks he broke it, like play with Beep() or SetPixel()
//Johannes
|
|
|
|
|
Thats great.
Thanks for the idea.

So if your program finds activity on your laptop when you are not around, how will you know for certain it belongs to your brother? The evidence would seem circumstantial.

I have a fresh installed xp in my pc connected to a network.. and i forgott to disconnect it from the network while under installation process.. a trojan horse virus has infected me first before i've installed the norton 2007 systemworks w/ anti-virus.. that's why i intend to full scan the system for me get rid of it that virus.. and it was resolve and the virus was remove completely..
but the problem is??
the virus has change my xp system registry making it possible to create a Windows System Folders from my dirve C: like ProgramFiles and MyDocuments and DocumentSettings to be duplicated in the same location... and everytime i've created a new folder inside my drive C:? it always duplicated and once i've delete the new folder i've created? only one of the duplicate is erase and i cant erase the other because windows prompt me like this:
"Can not delete file: Can not read from the source file or disk" "click OK"
and when i intend to create a folder with the same foldername "PROGRAM FILES"?? then WINDOWS is restricting me to create a folder which already exitsing with the same name, and also the same with other folder besides from system folder inside drive C:\??
i know that creating folder with the same foldername in the same directory or location is restricted... but the troublesome is how's that happen that even i restarted xp i always see the duplicated folder of PROGRAM FILES and others system folder and also the new folder i've lately created.. even if run xp in safe mode or either command prompt safemode.. still i see those bunch of duplicated folders and i observe that those duplicated folder name is just something shortcut to the original folder... but even shortcut has different foldername or filename and they just the same on the target isn't it?? correct me if im wrong...
im not good in XP OS trouble shooting specially when it comes registry editing but as of my openion theres something registry related here needs to be fix... correct me im wrong...
Please anybody have an idea to deal with this problem and fix this annoyance..??
please???
thank you so much in advance to anybody's concerned...

Hello all,
I have a multi-core PC. How do I use both cores at the same time ?
Is it sufficient to start a second thread ?
Using Visual C++
Are two window procedures executed on different processors ? I guess not : I assume that as long as there is only one thread in an application, it runs the Window procedures sequentialy.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
the operating system will look at all threads from all processes; any thread that
is not blocked (waiting on I/O completion, on timer timeout, ...) is "ready" and
a candidate for execution. These get ordered by priority, and the highest N are
selected to become the "current threads" on hardware capable of running N threads
concurrently (as in an n-way multi-core).
Each Control needs to be handled by the thread that created that Control, and normally
Controls are linked tohgether on Forms and the like, so typically they all get
serviced by a single thread, the GUI thread.
An app with only one thread will benefit from a multi-core only by the fact that
the remaining Windows activities can be executed by the other parts of the multi-core
(remember those dozens of processes and threads outside your app!).
To really take advantage of a multi-core you must either have several heavy-duty apps,
or have an app with several well-organized threads (so two or more threads
are likely to be "ready" at the same time).

There are no options for this. All of this is controlled by the application opening the port for communication. There settings you see merely set defaults that each application can either use or ignore and set their own when they open the port. Just about all applications just ignore what you set in the Device Manager or using MODE.
|
|

|

Well, what properties are set using an application are reset to the defaults when the system is rebooted. However the mode command in DOS helps set the properties for the COM port and written straight to the registry.
I found out the way to change these settings, althought the change was trivial!
mode com1: baud=4800 parity=n data=8 stop=1 to=ON xon=OFF odsr=ON octs=OFF
and the properties are changed for com1!!
Thanks for the help!
Cheers!

You actually have an application that still uses that old stuff?
