I did try it. It worked properly in Win2k/XP, but not in Win98. You can make a simple example and test it in Win98. Just create a file with a file name "PHYSICALDRIVE0".

This worked as expected:
HANDLE disk = CreateFile(_T("\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0"),
GENERIC_READ,
0,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL);
if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE != disk)
MessageBox(NULL, _T("Work"), _T(""), MB_OK);
else
MessageBox(NULL, _T("Not Work"), _T(""), MB_OK);

Does that code work correctly in Win98 platform? If yes, it looks so strange. Let me try it again. Anyway, thank you so much.

Check out the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\DontDisplayLastUserName registry key. This won't do anything about a default user, but it does remove the ability to view which user was last logged onto the machine by clearing the username box on the login screen.

I'm not sure if this is possible without a custom GINA.DLL.

By default, after a successful login, the desktop is displayed. I'm not sure what you mean by "ordinary user have no entry to desktop." Perhaps the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\SecureDesktop registry key might be of use.

Without creating your own MSGINA.DLL, I know of no way to automatically plug "Default" into the login box.

This happens by default. Some windows, such as Windows Explorer and Control Panel, might open back up if they were open when Administrator last logged off.

Then put your application in the Startup group, or the Run key (not in the HKLM hive) in the registry.

hi,
if u put into startup then first desktop will come and after that ur application also will come.
more over from there by using some key u can access the desktop.
In our system only admin have the right to access the desktop, no one else.
so can u send some script for that

Correct. Only services start before the desktop.

Is this handled at the OS level (I've not been able to find anything), or is there a third party utility running that handles this?

I was considering a solution to my problem of grabbing strings from another application. Writing to a file seems to be easiest solution. However, the app which reads the file needs to read it in real time. Both apss run at the same time. The first program is writing data to a file (redirect stdout to a file and use printf). A second program is reading the file and displaying the data in a GUI text window. However, this does not seem to work. It may be a permission problem, but I'm not sure. I thought about using create named pipe, but I want the second app to be optional (meaning it does need to be run). When using pipes, don't both need to be connected? Any suggestions. Thanks.

One solution is memory-mapping. Another solution is WM_COPYDATA.

Hi.
If your data is small you can use windows registery to pass the data.
If not you can use combination of two strategy named pipe and writing to file.
but i think after every write you close the file and open it at other time the second app can wait to close the file and then itself open it.

Hi.
You can use CFile class and in open function use this flag:
CFile::shareDenyNone
I think that this flag can useful for you.

I think this is exactly what you are looking for.

Hi All,
I need to select the entire column when a user clicks on a column header and I am not sure how to do it. Can someone give me some insights so I can get started.
Thank you,
Dmitry

Something like:
for (int x = 0; x < itemcount; x++)
listctrl.SetItem(x, column, LVIF_STATE, "", 0, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED, 0); I've not tried this so it may be full of holes.

With the standard list control, you can't select just a column. Take a look at the grid controls here at CP, those may be what you need.

hi,
i want to check a system in the network is up or down by using its IP address.ie Ping a system using IP add.
its very urgent.
pls help me.
achip,

One solution is winsock. The simplest solution is to use the tool Ping that comes with windows.

hi,
i dont get u what tool you mean.
i want to access a remote system from my programme, with the IP address.
while running the application if the system is not ON,it becomes so slow.
So i want some programme to check a system is UP or down with the IP address in a minimal time.
pls help me...
bye

The ICMP in no way guarantees that a system is up or down. In any case, try searching CP for "ping", and this search.
