AFAIK, it does come with XPe. Under other versions of Windows, it's normally found under the system32 folder.

Or, you could just download it[^]...

I knew it would be deployed in "System32", but my XPe does not have it. BTY, I built and deployed my own XPe. Everytime I need to manually grab it from another XP (not XPe!!!) installation.

So, login as the other admin account and change the password on the 1st account.

No, you can't. Deleteing an account does not make it's files and folders fair game to any other account. But, if you login as a different Admin level account, you will have access to the locked accounts files.

I have no idea what you're asking with this.

Hi, I have an application which I launch.This application then has a login window where I input the login details before I can select the anything from the application menu.

I need to make an ms-dos command that will launch the application,and pass the login parameters that are specified in the command to login window.

Thanks in advance.

are you sure there's no simpler way ?

you could write an application that does a findwindow to locate the login window, then 'posts' data to the controls etc - a bit of googling and looking here on CP should reveal all the techniques

'g'

I searched and found a findwindow function but i don't believe it is for vb.net. Is there a any such thing in vb.net?

which application is it. check whether it has any command line interface. through which you can pass the username and password.

VMWare and Visual studio 2008 what is it doing differently when it's a c# winform debug build vs a release build? [modified]

I'm having an issue with VMWare workstation, I'm developing inside a virtual machine with VS2008.

I've tried the vmware forums but the mention of a specific app vs2008 scares away any replies and it's definitely an issue with vs2008.

Periodically and for no apparent reason about 1 *debug* build in 3 causes the whole virtual machine to temporarily freeze for 10 to 15 seconds. By freeze I mean it becomes entirely unresponsive, if I have task manager running and performance monitor it freezes, everything freezes.

It happens just as it logs in the output a call to csc.exe or sometimes sgen.exe or sometimes compiling the license files lic...something. Usually it's in csc.exe.

After 10 to 15 seconds it suddenly springs into life again as if nothing happened.

What's odd is it *never* happens in a release build.

Now what's even odder is I vaguely recall having this same problem a while back when I was not in a virtual machine, during debug and run I would periodically see nothing happening, my app wouldn't launch and though it seems like voodoo if I moved the mouse around a bit it would suddenly launch the app in debug mode. Like it was stuck or something, though in that case the whole machine was never locked up, just vs itself.

If I turn on the debugging log for the vmware workstation I get a whole bunch of identical error entries that cover the period it froze for exactly. Entries like this:
Jan 02 13:23:14.203: vcpu-0| TrueNPFault: LPN 0x917c
Jan 02 13:23:14.203: vcpu-0| TrueNPFault: LPN 0x917c
Jan 02 13:23:14.203: vcpu-0| TrueNPFault: LPN 0x917c
Jan 02 13:23:14.203: vcpu-0| TrueNPFault: LPN 0x917c

Which is unfortunately not documented anywhere.

There are no other problems at all with the virtual machine, I can put any kind of load on it, performance is excellent it's only that exact moment when doing a debug build in vs2008. I use the machine heavily for all manner of things there's no doubt it's down to vs2008 itself.

Which leads me to believe something unusual is happening during the debug build but I can't pin down what exactly might be going on at that moment that is different than a release build.

Anyone have any ideas?

There must be a Virus on your PC. Try not to connect to internet and then scan your PC

It more likely that you have a bad motherboard, memory, processor, or power supply...

You can use Memtest[^] to test your memory, you have to burn it to a cd.

To test your motherboard, Power pack or processor I can't help you out, I don't know of any software off the top of my head to help you out.

Boot up in safe mode, check what gets loaded in your start up, check Services also as most people don't really check those out all too often when they get performance issues. Finally, load up IE in safe mode with no add-ons' and check what is in there also.

Best of luck, let me know how it turns out for you.

Ya I checked before only.
There is one register Entry named as "KATARNAK" and I removed as well as related files also.
But it reduce the hanging percentage but know per day once it will hanging.... Plzzzz Get me out of this problem.

Try formating the system and install OS again. There may be some trojan on your system.
