Once again I need to change an environment variable on my system, and once again I've got to navigate to the buried button Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables, to be presented with just about the most frustrating pair of dinky dialog boxes for editing environment variables.
Is there something better I don't know about? If not, then what is wrong with those Microsoft developers? Don't they ever need this thing? Don't they realize how absolutely retarded it is? What's the big deal about making a replacement for this juvenile effort and relieving millions of developers (and millions more users) from the repetitive UI gestures needed to modify simple strings?

You should right click on your computer and choose properties and go to tab that provide you to access environment variable.

To access environment faster, you should copy the short cut of command prompt to your desktop. Then you can set the evironment variable by using the command SET. Is this what you want?

Well your first suggestion saves me one mouse click, so thanks for that. I've always known about the SET command, and a lot of times I use it. But that's really not much better.
Even regedit is easier to use than these monstrosities. (Don't get me started on how bad the cmd shell is!)

Because it's a depricated way to store data, and MS doesn;t want to spend money on upgrading legacy interfaces.

Hi,
I have a problem while perform an unattend installation by using an answer file. I have exracted the setup manager from the deploy.cab file to c:\deploy folder and every file are extract by default. Then i start to use the setup manager to create unattend installation by using the READ ONLY mode for user. After set all of necessary configuration, I save the asnwer file to c:\deploy\read only.txt path. There is no UDF file because i didn't set any multiple configuration for multiple computer. I just want to test the unattend installation only. In the folder, there are two file are created after i saved the answer file. These file are "read only.txt" and "read only.bat". And the source file are set to copy from the CDROM during an installation. From the document that I read, when i need to perform an installation from the answer i have to type the following command at the command prom: winnt32 [/unattend[num]:[answer_file][/udf:ID[,UDB_file]] where the command winnt32 is reside. Because I have no UDF file create, i start to type the following command from the command line d:\i386\winnt32 /unattend:"c:\deploy\read only.txt" and press the enter key. The setup could not begin and prompt me that the path to read only.txt is invalid. I already check the file path and there is no problem with it. I read the deploy.chm about unattend installation and read from the book, i just found the syntax as i type in above. I know that my command line might have something ignore that cause an error. If any one know the correct syntax based on an information that I provide, could you help me to correct the syntax of the command that I type in the command prompt?
Thank in advance

Log onto CVS using your admin account. Use "import module" command. Are you using WinCVS?

Developing project with EVC++3.0 and EVC++4.0 I have the following problems:
- the environment is working too slow as if there is lack of memory.
- the project is loaded slow, sometimes 4-5 minutes(and it's not big project).
- putting a breakpoint, new line in the source or 'Go To Difinition' to any function is "freezing" the screen for about 20-30 seconds
I clean the intermediate files of the project, re-building it several times, but it's all the same.
somebody know what may cause this delays?
|
|
|
|
|
Does 'intermediate files' include the .opt and .ncb files?
The BP info is in the former, and a corrupt NCB can slow down a project load

thanks, this fixed the problem, but in EVC, these files were:
*.vcb<br />
*.vcc<br />
*.vco

Hi, I have a problem with my computer running windows xp pro. It has a problem since yesterday, while windows run around 5 minute since its logon, my computer start to run slowly. I can notify that the mouse pointer could not run smoothly. When I check at the task manager, I found that the CPU usage use 99%. But when i keep my computer around 5 more minute, it become normal. But when i start to move my mouse point it become slow and the CPU start to consume 99% again. I don't why cause it happend like that. Does any one has any comment to solve this problem? Are there any way to check which file or service that could consume CPU alot of resource?
|
|
|
|
|
Open the task manager and see what kind of process is running with 99% from CPU.
Then enter the process name in google.com.
|
|
|
|
|
I already see the CPU usage and check the process that consume the CPU resource. But I didn't found any process that cause the problem. How should I do? do you have any comment?
Note: when I start my computer in safe mode, it don't have a problem like that.

Now I already setup a new windows on the same drive. But i didn't format it. I use the second operating system to explorer to its drive and delete the system folder only. After i install the nw windows, my computer still have a problem while it is process. Now I suspect to the page file. I have check the root drive and found that the page file consume around 600MB and hibernate file consume around 400MB. So these two file consume around 1GB. Do you have any idea?

Hi,
Can somebody please tell me if Linux supports the UTF-16 encoding format for Unicode? All links I have found seem to indicate that Unicode on linux == UTF-8. Any links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

The Linux kernel treats all files as streams of bytes, it doesn't know anything about character encodings. Applications and libraries running under Linux may support various character encodings, including UTF-8 and/or UTF-16. For example, the GNU C library supports a huge number of encodings that can be listed by the iconv --list command.
The iconv()[^] function may be used to convert between character encodings in a program.

Thank you!
I am right now using the GTK+2.0 with Pango. Since Pango already has built-in support for UTF-8 and all wchar functions are present in libc my life is pretty good.  I Finally got the program to render unicode characters. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)
But glyph combining for some indic fonts is really bad! 
Wish there were some tutorials for pango though!
