Hi all,
I need ur help for my senior project,I'm planning to make a Instructor control Pc for computer engineering Labs in my univ..so i wanted to know how can i use Windows features to lock all other Pcs in labs (Students' Pcs),so they can see on their monitor only what is displayed on the instructor's Pc's desktop.
Do I need to write some code in OS?Where to write this code and in which language?
It will be great help if some1 can advice me on this,as i don't know how to implement this idea.

I am facing a problem using AzMan on Windows XP SP2. When i try to open\create an XML store, it gives the following error.
"Cannot open the authorization store. The following problem occured: The request is not supported."
Does anyone know what is wrong here?

Thanks for the reply Richard.
Yes, I installed Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 Administration Tools Pack but it is still giving the same error.

But have you created the Policy Store, Defined Tasks and Operations, Create Roles and Assign Users, Configured ASP.net and so on as stated on that Microsoft Reference, not forgetting to follow the instructions in the Additional Resources.

Cant get to that stage...it is not letting me create a new or open any existing policy store. Each time i try to create a new store, or open an existing one (a XML store created on another machine) it gives that error i mentioned in the first post.

Did some debugging and found that a "CreateFile" call deep inside azroles.dll is failing. It tries to open the XML Store file with a call to "CreateFile" like this (Not actual code but assumption based on assembly code):
CreateFile("C:\\MSDNMagAzStore.xml::$data",<other parameters="">);
The full path of XML Store is only C:\MSDNMagAzStore.xml. What is that "::$data" it appends to the file path? Any ideas? This is the first time I have seen such CreateFile call.
After this finding...is this the right forum for this question?

I had some folders which contains important files on the desktop. I went to windows explorer and hide the desktop and now I can not locate where the files are.
Please help me to restore the files.

Why on earth did you do this?? You'll have to reverse the process you went through to "hide" the Desktop. I have no idea what you did to do this.

If you cannot reverse this, then you should try a System Restore.

How about open windows explorer and use folder option to show all file?

If you have a copy of a LiveLinux bootable from CDROM (you may need to change your boot sequence in BIOS), then you might just be able to see what you have lost or hidden. If so, you may be able to rescue them to a USB pen drive or to CD/RW.
If your PC is formatted to FAT32 rather than NTFS then you might be able to rescue them to your PC. As far as I am aware, LiveLinux can read NTFS but not write to NTFS.

Thanks a lot. I have used system restore and everything is fine.
Actually there is young man in my office once I leave my PC, he comes and start copying files from my pc so I did hide the desktop as to prevent him doing so.

You could try grabbing him by the neck (or elsewhere as appropriate) with firm instructions that he is not to touch your PC under threat of further pain.
You could take the more usual security steps to forbid access to your PC by, for instance, having the need to log on with username and password that you only know and closing your system down at end of working day, but you could also password protect your system's BIOS so a password would be required before windows boots. If you are not permitted to switch-off your system, then introduce a password protected screensaver.
I am sure there are other things you could do, but security (or the lack of) appears to be a primary concern at your workplace. Perhaps you should speak to your boss about this situation. If this lad can gain access, who else gains unauthorised access to confidential information.

Hi,
i wrote a service process that configured to be automatic on system startup.
It worked fine till i upgraded my XP to SP2.
It won't start on automatic startup, but manualy it will start.
The event viewer report for error event-id 7009 (Timeout (name milliseconds) waiting for service to connect.).
Does anyone know how can i solve that problem?
Thanks,
Dudi

Well, i didn't mention that my service loads a dll for system-wide keyboard hooking (using SetWindowsHookEx function with WH_KEYBOARD_LL parameter).
I commented out the hooking and the service started on system startup.
It seems that there is a problem to hook from service on XP SP2 till the you login.
Do you know something about that?

Use the depends tool to see what other DLLs your DLL is trying to load when it registers.

with what kind of file extension have you played ?
to restore it, you can go into this :
open a windows explorer
click on Tools > Folders Options...
select the "Files Types" Tab
go to the file type you modified
there, select the action you want to do. if you cannot change by hand, then delete the file association. when you'll try to open such a file type next time, windows will ask you which application to use to open it.
