Re: CreateProcess doesn’t passes command line arguments

I suspect your command-line argument is being interpreted as the executable name. See the CreateProcess[^] documentation:

Console processes written in C can use the argc and argv arguments to parse the command line. Because argv[0] is the module name, C programmers generally repeat the module name as the first token in the command line.

While that's talking about C programs, .NET programs conform to that as well. Add an argument before the e-mail address and you should find it all works.

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

You shouldn't be giving him any importance (take a look at some of his recent posts). You could just mark it down instead.

In C run-time libs is there a function that renurns if the given string is a directory or a file name?

If you can use Win32, GetFileAttributes() will do that for you nicely:

you can change access of usb device through registry.
Registry path
[code]
LOCAL_MACHINE, "SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\StorageDevicePolicies"
[/code]
just you change the values
[code]
"0" to "1"
WriteProtect="1"
[/code]

Are you of the thinking that code cannot be used to manipulate the registry?
