As long as we're speculating, I'll go the opposite route - I say this is his first foray into the world of driver development.

Are you suggesting that he is taking the plunge too early?

Okay!
I thought you were making some calculated guesses as to the original poster's programming skill level and the direction he was taking

GetVersionEx() is not the one for kernel mode - but poking around
in the ddk I found IoIsWdmVersionAvailable()to serve my purpose.
though it doesn't help with Win98 / Win98SE distinction.
(not very intuitive - but then nothing much is in kernel mode

Just out of curiosity, why doesn't it work?

Does anyone know how to password protect network shares on XP (i.e. Sharing a folder on LAN). I am running XP home on NTFS. If somebody could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know about XP Home but in XP Pro, there is an option at the bottom of the Folder Options list: Use Simple File Sharing. Turn that off, and you should get the security options.

I couldn't find that in XP Home. Hopefully I will be upgrading to XP Pro.

I'd like to dock (or lock) a tall toolbar at the upper left, with two
or more rows of shorter toolbars dockable to its right.
Current behavior in my MFC application is as follows: the height of
each row of toolbars is dominated by the tallest toolbar in the row.
Therefore only one row of short toolbars can line up next to my tall
toolbar. Then next row of toolbars appears below the tall toolbar.
Is there any way to change this layout pattern? For instance, can I
lock my tall toolbar at the upper left, and have the docking region
for the other toolbars begin to its right?

I uninstalled some program in Windows 2000 but it still appears in Add-Remove Programs Control Panel applet. How can I delete this line?

Remove it from the registry.

There is a simple program (WinAPI only) that creates window and in WM_CREATE handler creates one button with:
HWND hButton = CreateWindowEx(0, WC_BUTTON, _T("Push me: AaBb"),
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON,
100, 100, 200, 20,
hwnd, NULL, g_hInstance, NULL);
It runs ok with old comctl32.dll
The problem appears when I want to switch to XP interface and create a file named "my_app_name.exe.manifest" with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<description>Your application description here.</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>
The button DOES NOT CREATE 
GetLastError() returns "invalid window handle". What I am doing wrong?

Maxim

In windows XP/.NET some icons have dynamic shadows that change with the desktop behind it. Yet my softwares icons are all still flat. Is there some code or a way of making icons to cover this?
.NET or not .NET? MFC is the question......

XP supports 32-bpp icons, which is 24 bits for colors and an 8-bit alpha channel that controls the transparency.

so what should i design them in. does VC++ 6 support alpha channels? Or should i use something like Fireworks?
.NET or not .NET? MFC is the question......
|

VC won't cut it, it only supports 256 color images. I have zero skill in graphics, so someone else will have to recommend a good graphics program for making 32-bit icons.

Windows XP has extremly annoying AutoPlay feature. For my application I need to turn it off completely for all drives. I already made next actions:
1) Set "Take no action" for all drives and all content types (Drive Properties - AutoPlay)
2) Handle QueryCancelAutoPlay registered Windows message and reply "No, thanks" for all content types, as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/11/autoplay/autoplay.asp
3) Set DWORD value AutoPlay to 0 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom
4) Set DWORD value AutoPlay to 0 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk
However, there is still one case when Windows XP opens Explorer for DVD disk. In some place in my program I format DVD RAM disk using format command-line utility (I run it using CreateProcess). After disk is formatted XP opens Explorer window for it. May be there are some other things to do with this (except using Windows 2000, NT etc.)?

I heard this a while ago: Is there a 10-connection limit (inbound) on Windows NT(Workstation)/2K Professional? To elaborate, can more than 10 computers with different IP-addresses connect to a Windows Computer (using TCP) -- like a web server? The "Server" application is not a MS product. Also, if this can be done, does it violate the Licence?

I don't know about the 10 connection limit. It seems pretty a little weird.

Unless it violates your ISP contract (i.e. it says not servers) it shouldn't violate anything.

The article is not clear about which network level the limit has been applied to. It doesn't say that the limit is on TCP/IP. Maybe its only on products like IIS?
Anybody actually verified this experimentally?
