Are you wanting to know how to make Explorer show a preview of a .png file when it is selected in Explorer?

So here's the problem:
I have a custom GINA that I'm working on that (for now) simple replaces the logon UI and logons on as a specific user. My Dialogs appear and I can logon, but my desktop is all screwy. The background image appears and some icons show up but the taskbar, startmenu only show up as outlines. Everything appears to be in it's appropriate place, as I can click where Run should be on the start menu and type cmd and the command window will appear but things like explorer will only show some icons and maybe a border (if I'm lucky).
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I install Visual Studio.NET to win 2000 server. But normal users can not debug
in VS.NET. And there is no debug user type in user types. so only administaror group member could debug in VS.NET. I do not want to install Active Directory only for this and also do not want to give admin rights to users. What could I do.

Hi,
I make a logon and logoff script for local users on a windows 2000 server(nfts file format) and locate them to work on logon and logoff. They are two batch files.

when standard users logoff there occurs an error says
<i>permission denied.</i>
how could I give this permision

I have a question about setting up a WINS server. I have created a Windows 2000 AD domain and was using a LMHOSTS file so the pcs on my network would easily find the domain controller. I have a mix of NT 4, Win2k Pro and XP Pro boxes. Anyways I decided to set up a wins server to make it easier to manage. The problem is that I replaced the company primary wins server with my wins server and now the pcs cannot see the other domains from the company wins server. I know there is a push / pull feature but my server does not have the permissions to connect to the company wins server in this way. I also know they would not give me that permission. Is there any way around this?

I was 'analyzing' the computers at the tax service where I'm working and noticed an oddity that I've encountered before. There are 6 PCs networked in a Peer-to-Peer configuration, and I've verified that all are in the same workgroup. According to MS documentation, opening the Computers Near Me window is supposed to display all the connected computers in the same workgroup as the local host. It doesn't - after a long delay the window finally displays a blank window - and thinking back to other networks I've used, it never has. Opening the Entire Network and selecting Microsoft Network properly displays them all, and the network functions perfectly. These are all Win2K machines and, as I mentioned, everything works as it should except this function. Can anyone explain this odd behavior?

Hi,
I'd like to test my programs using a network throttler that will simulate my 100Mbps Ethernet as a 56K modem, or so.
Is there some program I can install?
Thanks,

I've created an app in MFC that is dialog based, and I call functions such as GetIfTable to retrieve data and display it using SetDlgItemText to pop it into an editbox.
However, when I call GetIpNetTable to get a table of Address Resolution Table rows, I immediately lose my m_hWnd member. I've not had this problem with the other functions, just this one.
Has anyone come across this problem before? I've looked on google but can't find anything. I've tried creating a dummy HWND and assigning it the value of m_hWnd and then reassigning after calling the function but all I get is an access violation message.
Obseve everything, remember more...

Sorted it - user error I think.
I put a watch on m_hWnd and after calling the function it said the expression could not be evaluated. I had allocated the buffer too small so it seems the buffer was overwritten, and the variable m_hWnd was overwritten!

I am using the PalmOS 5 Simulator on my system, and it works great. The only problem is everytime i close it it loses all and any settings i have set. I belive this is because it simply keeps the "Palm" memory in RAM while the application is running, and once it ends it vanishes altogehter.
I am wondering if there is an app which will, when i close the simulator, allow me to save its current used memory on the PC to a disk file, and then next time i load the simulator it would reload the memory, and let me pick up working on the "Palm" where i had left off last time i used it.
Is there an application to persist memory like this?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to find out which ports are open on the local machine and is there a way of opening and closing ports?
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows:
netstat -a
This will list all connections and listening ports.
As far as opening and closing ports, that depends on what services are running and/or any software running at the time, or software you create that opens its own ports.
If you want to make sure things don't go outside your "protected" network, setup a firewall

I've been asked to look at ways to install XP without using the XP installing.
Let me clarify that. 
A client wants to install a very cut down version of XP.
He doesn't want to circumvent the activation either.

Any ideas on the best way to approach this ?

Some ideas:
. Sysprep from Microsoft
. an automated installation response file (sorry, I don't recall how to create it, but on Technet you'll surely find it).
. If a high degree of "cutting down" is required, you could use Windows XP Embedded Edition, which will allow you to remove almost everything but the kernel and HAL from Windows XP.

Got some wacky things of my own to report - don't know if you can help, though.
Explorer pops up to the front when any explorer sends a change message.
Explorer navigates to "C:\windows\desktop\desktop" and then complains that "C:\windows\desktop\desktop\desktop" has been moved or removed
Explorer turns all drive/folder/virtual folder icons to folder icons and removes their names.
It does all of this whenever it feels like.

I feel horrible that I cannot find the answer to this myslef by searching around the computer but ... the darn thing is in German.
I have a computer that is at a friends house that has been played with by a bunch of young kids that love to mess around with different settings. Well, one of them managed to switch the system language (actually it seems to be contained within Window Explorer and Internet Explorer) to German instead of English.
Nobody will fess up to doing and the heck if anyone else knows how to fix it ... I have searched through all of the option menus in WE and IE, even the options available under the Control Panel. Any suggestions? I hope I am just missing an obvious section.
Thanks in advance ...

Control Panel->Regional Options->Change the Menus and Dialogs combo to the desired language.
Of course, the items won't be called "control panel" and "regional options" anymore, so finding them in German is left as an exercise for the reader. (hint, the Regional Options is the one with the picture of a planet that looks nothing like Earth)

Does anyone know how to force Windows Explorer to retain a certain size permanently?
I have a problem where Windows Explorer will frequently resize itself to something other than the size I set it. Symptoms: Windows will quickly but visibly hiccup (the screen goes through a quick redraw). The next time I open Windows Explorer, it will be a different size than when I last set it. This new size is always consistent.
Is it just me or has Windows Explorer become more buggy with each successive iteration?
