Have you tried _access()? It's a wrapper around GetFileAttributes() so it may not be any better.
If you are using MFC, check out CFile::GetStatus().

I've a PE file and I'm going to set the file alignment to '1' in it. It's initially set to '512'. When I change it to '1', an error message says "This is an invalid PE file ...".
Any suggestion PLS?
Thank you masters!

Maybe that's an invalid file alignment value?

The file section alignment governs the amount of padding between sections of a file. In the running process image, different file sections are aligned on a 4KB boundary as that's the page size - different protections can only be set at page level.
There is almost never any reason to change the file alignment as the amount of wasted space is typically very small - there aren't many sections in a typical executable file - and disappears completely if the file is compressed, as it will be in most distribution systems.

I just read this article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/Hack_Windows_Task_Manager.aspx[^], and I thought it would be quite interesting if an app is able to modify one entry in task manager's listbox, thus hiding itself. It sounded easy enough to replace LVM_DELETECOLUMN with LVM_DELETEITEM, but I'm getting strange errors with SendMessage.
So right now I have something like this:
LVFINDINFO findInfo;
ZeroMemory(&findInfo, sizeof(LVFINDINFO));
findInfo.flags=LVFI_STRING;
findInfo.psz=(LPCSTR)"myTest.exe";
Then I tried this (hWnd is for Windows Task Manager, not my app):
int index = ::SendMessage(hWnd,LVM_FINDITEM,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM)(const LVFINDINFO FAR*)&findInfo);
if (index!=-1) ::SendMessage(hWnd,LVM_DELETEITEM,index,0);
It crashes taskmgr.
I was browsing through the comments on that article when I found a piece of code in Delphi that supposedly does what I'm trying to do. After my attempt to translate it into C++, it looks like this:
DWORD ProcessID;
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd,&ProcessID);
HANDLE pHandle=OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,FALSE, ProcessID);
if (pHandle!=NULL){
LPVOID address=VirtualAllocEx(pHandle,NULL,sizeof(findInfo),MEM_RESERVE | MEM_COMMIT,PAGE_READWRITE);
if (WriteProcessMemory(pHandle,address,&findInfo,sizeof(findInfo),NULL)!=FALSE){
int index = ::SendMessage((HWND)pHandle,LVM_FINDITEM,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM)(const LVFINDINFO FAR*)address);
if (index!=-1) ::SendMessage(hWnd,LVM_DELETEITEM,index,0);
}
CloseHandle(pHandle);
VirtualFreeEx(pHandle,NULL,sizeof(findInfo),MEM_DECOMMIT);
}
Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. The LVM_FINDITEM SendMessage returns 0, so all it's doing right now is deleting the first entry off taskmgr every 10 milliseconds.
If anyone could correct me on my usage of SendMessage with LVM_FINDITEM that would be appreciated.

Did you also allocate the string (stored in findInfo.psz) in the other process's address apace?
|
|
|
|

I don't quite understand what you just said. 
The listbox that I'm searching does have the entry "myTest.exe", if that's what you're saying.

Thank U for valuble question.
The suggestion for allocating string other process worked well, but i need to set the postion for that i have to use LVM_SETITEMPOSITION, how can i create the POINT value in the other process.
Thanks in advance.----------------------------

Another way to hide entries would be to hook the ZwQuerySystemInformation API, which Task Manager calls to get a list of the running processes on the system. You can modify the linked list of processes returned by changing around the NextEntryDelta member of the SYSTEM_PROCESS_INFORMATION struct once the process is found (ProcessName member). I don't really see why you'd want to hide a process from Task Manager though -- outside of malicious purposes.

I get dizzy everytime I look at something related to drivers. You DO need to create a driver to hook the ZwQuerySystemInformation API right? I've been trying to learn how to hook the NT kernel functions for a long time now, and I'm not getting anywhere. There aren't any good tutorials 
And also, that isn't really my goal. As I said in my post, I just read an article on modifying Task Manager's listboxes and I was curious if that meant a process could be able to hide itself. I'm not doing this for any malicious purposes. Just doing it to satisfy my curiosity

 It's possible to hook kernel functions without writing a driver?
I didn't know that.

Hi.....
I have One Dialog with Five tabs. Each Tab having so many controls like Edit boxes,buttons and all.
My problem is When u enter some Data in any control of that particular tab,the ASTERIK should be added to the Tab Name.(Same as when we write aome Data in wordpad the asterik will add to the Document Name).
So, How can i Do that...
My IDEA is ::: OnKillfocus() and "change" event of every Control we maintain one varible.but there are so many Controls..!!!!!
Is there any another API or simple way to do this 
|

The controls send notifications to the parent whenever changes are made.
These notifications are typically sent via WM_COMMAND or WM_NOTIFY
messages.
Assuming MFC here (you could do similar using straight Win32):
You could override OnCommand() and OnNotify() in the parent dialog
and in your overrides, look for the change notifications, and if one
is received, take the appropriate action. Make sure you call the base
class method so proper MFC command/notification processing gets done.
For a list of the possible notifications and how they are sent, see
the Windows Controls[^] documentation for the types of controls
you use.

In the sheet, call GetTabControl(). Then fill out a TC_ITEM structure and call GetItem(). Add the asterisk and call SetItem().

You could use any HTTP client to access a servlet (for example http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/simplehttpclient.aspx[^])...or do something very simple like
system("IEXPLORE.EXE \"http://192.197.66.99/sample/checkName\"");
Hope it helps

1 billion digits?  
Surely, you meant the number 1 billion and not 1 billion digits?

GMP BigNum library[^] is your best bet perhaps.
As an example, Here is the sample calculation and result:
Cauculation: 1 + gcd(87324,78263148,7896) * (10^1989879887 mod 421!)
The Output: A very laaarge number[^]
