Thanks for the update.

I already have a fully qualified target path, I would like to be able to open the folder without the anoying left hand tree pane.

Right

That was the command you could use in CreateProcess()/ShellExecute():

EXPLORER.EXE driveletter:\path

This one also works on XP:

EXPLORER.EXE /n, driveletter:\path

Both open Windows Explorer as a "My Computer"-style window - single pane, no tree.

Thanks very much..

I will try the /n option.

As for the first bit; I am actually running XP and the 'driveletter:\path' does indeed still open explorer with the tree pane, however I will try your second suggestion..thanks for the help.

Here's another example Smile | :)

::ShellExecute(*this, _T("open"), _T("EXPLORER.EXE"), _T("/n, driveletter:\\path"), NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

although the following is probably better since it's not bound to exporer.exe or specific
command-line arguments:

::ShellExecute(*this, _T("open"), _T("driveletter:\\path"), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

This did the same thing on XP:

::ShellExecute(hwnd, _T("open"), _T("driveletter:\\path"), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Easy one on install of Visual Studio 2005

Hi,

I have just installed Vista and of course my old VC++ 6.0 won't work on Vista so I'm finally jumping to Visual Studio 2005.

I can save a few bucks by getting the upgrade version of Visual Studio 2005 but I'm concerned that Vista may want to see VC++ installed on the hard drive. In the past, MS products were satisfied by just seeing the qualifying product CD in the drive but that seems to be changing. This would put me in a pickle since I can't really install VC++ 6.0 (and if I did it may muck up Vista).

Anybody know for sure if the VS 2005 upgrade product will install w/o having my VC++ 6.0 product on the hard drive (ie. just a CD verification)?

Thanks

Registry simple question in MFC

12-Jun-07 10:34

I understand that this question may be overheard here and there are huge amount of articles explaining it but for someone that has not used registry like me and want a very simple task it is only more confusing. I only want to save the directory of program installation in registry during installation and read it at the begining of my MFC program. I searched articles on this site and amount of articles was overwhelming and really confusing, I absolutely do not want to use a prewritten class something that I don't know how it works internally. Are there a simple API or similar function to reterive a key. I also interested in CRegKey from ATL. Can this class solve my problem?
Thanks.

Try RegOpenKeyEx() and RegQueryValueEx().

How don't let run a program from another

It is possible to avoid that a program executes from our own application?

An example:
I'm running my app and I don't want to let notepad.exe to execute.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity, why?

The question is that 2 programs are really time consuming exigents.
The point is don't let the user execute both at the same time.
Then , if one is running don't let run the other and viceversa.

hi all,
i m using spamassassin to filter my mails as spam or not, but i m unable to execute spamassassin.exe,it works fine when i call that exe from DOS(command prompt)with same commandline argument, here is the code i m using,
C++
HINSTANCE hins =::ShellExecute(NULL,"open","F:/sa/spamassassin.exe","<F:/spam.txt> F:/spamT.txt",NULL,SW_HIDE); in this situation exe invoke and then disappear without executing as i seen tha through task manager, when i call above line of code behind a button then process increases in task manager and then it decreases, without full execution.

here is the command which i paste on DOS and works fine,
any idea.
C:\Documents and Settings\tasleemarif>F:/sa/spamassassin.exe <F:/spam.txt> F:/spamT.txt"
i have also tried that using C++ spawn functions as well but did not work too. any idea r any person can guide me how had worked on spamassisn.

Regards.

The code you've shown seems fine. Temporarily change SW_HIDE to SW_SHOW. Does that produce any windows?

What does this do:

ShellExecute(NULL, _T("open"), _T("c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe"), _T("c:\\boot.ini"), NULL, SW_SHOW);
