bootable? are you talking about autorun?
If yes you can add an autorun.inf that contain something like this code:
[AutoRun]
OPEN=MySetUpSubFolder\SetUp.exe
ICON=MyIcon.ico
(It will be execute only if the PC where you will insert the CD has autorun enabled.)

No, Russell' bootable means that when the PC is turned on it won't read operating system and start Windows for instance on drive C:\ but it will start by reading the very FIRST 512Kb Sector of the CD-ROM which contains a special program called the boot program and the BIOS is responsible for loading this program in memory and then this program will become in charge!

I know this , but I was hoping that the OP was wronging the word, make the boot disk to install Win XP is not a grat idea, it's very complex and if you wrong something it's hard to restore the system.

Please nkjha1 read first my reply to Russel', and then you must know that since you had the files you should order/get from Microsoft the CD IMAGE of Windows XP which burns the boot sector first and then the other files similar to the ones on your harddisk, this is a bit hard to be done manually since you must locate the bootsector program first! I strongly advice you to ask for a replacement of the orignal CD-ROM and not do it by hand!!

Your right about how to create a boot disk but the boot program on the first 512KB Sector is not DOS's one and you must know exactly where to find that specific boot sector program and not just any program!

Creating a local user with following code running in a web application works fine, but only if I exexute the web application in debugger.
// Create OS user
DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +
Environment.MachineName + ",computer");
DirectoryEntry newUser = directoryEntry.Children.Add(name, "user");
newUser.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { password });
newUser.Invoke("Put", new object[] { "Description", "MyUser" });
try
{
newUser.CommitChanges();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return "CommitChanges: " + e.Message;
}
The attempt to create a user after deploying the web application on IIS fails with the following error message:
"General access denied error."
I use windows integrated authentication in my web application and even if logon is done as administrator on the server maschine, creation of a user fails. All other logic of the web application works. I do not know, which security settings have to be configured on Windows Server 2003 with IIS6.0 to allow creation of a user.

I have some apps that print on ticket/receipt type printers. They use CreateFile()to open e.g. LPT1: or COM3: then WriteFile() to print. Fine. "Modern" PCs don't have serial and parallel ports, but almost enough USB ports. So we instal a USB-serial adapter, and I can now use COM5: or whatever. Instal a USB-parallel adapter, and WHAT THE ???? IS THE THING CALLED? In other words, what string do I pass to CreateFile()? I've been up several blind alleys, and figure that watching this board for replies is preferable to brick wall-induced concussion!
 If I've posted this on the wrong board, please tell me where to go.
Thanks,
Peter

Depends on how sane your USB-Parallel adapter is but it should still be LPT1: unless you also have a genuine parallel port. There will be a horrible, USB style, mile long device name as well but the chances of using that successfully in any software designed to talk to COM1: or LPT1: I would rate at low to very low.
If LPT1: is absent then a session of poking around in Device Manager or SysInfo should give you your answer.
Good Luck.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Yes, the machines I'm testing on both have a real LPT1:, and yes, the long USB name (or bits thereof) is unusable. Further spelunking in the SDK doco led me to QueryDosDevice() and DefineDosDevice(). Using these, I can create a LPT2: device, attached to the same \Device\USBPDO-? that the USB alphabet soup is linked to. It works most of the time - I think I have a USB timing issue, since firing up a (software) USB protocol analyser makes it work better. LPT2: doesn't survive a reboot, but I can handle all that in startup code.
Thanks

So here I am teaching myself some of the command line tools for AD when I realize that some of my changes don't seem to be working. In a panic I scour the net, msdn, technet. White papers. Blue paperss. Yellow papers. More.
All that trouble could've been avoided had it been mentioned that from time to time when using the command line AD may not render your changes. Solution. Press F5 to refresh the GUI.
Hope some of you find that as useful as I did.

Can anyone tell me how to run a full screen app on two Screens in xp? App in windowed mode is fixed size, but will accept any resolution for full screen on command line, but the os only puts the full screen app on one screen. in windowed mode it ignores the command line resolution argument. Cheers

AFAIK maximize always uses and fills one screen, being the screen that contains most of the
window when not maximized. There is no way to maximize over more than one screen. (The
excuse may be it is not always true the combined screens form a rectangle).

I thought so too, until I met the Nullsoft Installer (NSIS) User Manual (.chm). On my system with a rectangle of two monitors (secondary above primary), it came up over two full screens. Maximise it and it fills one screen! On my other system with two different-sized monitors it behaves as you describe.
No idea what's going on.
BTW, this monitor stacking makes negative screen coordinates do something useful.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi,
maximize behaves as I stated before.
if you have the source code, you can make your app cover whatever rectangle you want,
including the sum of two screens (if that's a rectangle) by giving it the appropriate
Bounds; but then you are not running in "full screen" mode, and as you noted,
maximizing it would bring it back to one screen.
BTW maximize mode sets the window size a bit larger (IIRC 4 pixels) than the screen size!

In a multithreaded server unix environment, when the system calls are invoked
it is returning the descriptor number 0 randomly and is creating decriptor leakage problems.
Noramlly the system reserve 0 ,1,2 for input ,output and error.
please help to resolve this .

Or you can use taskkill to kill it from cmd
