Icon shadows Jon Newman9-Jan-02 8:04 Jon Newman 9-Jan-02 8:04  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...... Re: Icon shadows Michael Dunn9-Jan-02 9:10 Michael Dunn 9-Jan-02 9:10  XP supports 32-bpp icons, which is 24 bits for colors and an 8-bit alpha channel that controls the transparency. --Mike-- My really out-of-date homepage He who laughs last, didn't get the punchline and is just laughing so he won't look silly.

Or should i use something like Fireworks? .NET or not .NET? MFC is the question...... Re: Icon shadows Michael Dunn10-Jan-02 7:51 Michael Dunn 10-Jan-02 7:51  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. --Mike-- My really out-of-date homepage He who laughs last, didn't get the punchline and is just laughing so he won't look silly.

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.)? 10-connection limit on TCP/IP? 22-Dec-01 2:40 22-Dec-01 2:40  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? Re: 10-connection limit on TCP/IP? Matt Newman22-Dec-01 5:25 Matt Newman 22-Dec-01 5:25  I don't know about the 10 connection limit. It seems pretty a little weird. DM wrote: Also, if this can be done, does it violate the Licence? Unless it violates your ISP contract (i.e. it says not servers) it shouldn't violate anything. - Matt Newman - Matt Newman -Sonork ID: 100.11179:BestSnowman Re: 10-connection limit on TCP/IP? Sean Cundiff22-Dec-01 5:43 Sean Cundiff 22-Dec-01 5:43  This is correct. Check out the article on msdn: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q122920 -Sean ---- "Vigilance With Pride" Re: 10-connection limit on TCP/IP? 22-Dec-01 13:32 22-Dec-01 13:32  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? Re: 10-connection limit on TCP/IP? Sean Cundiff22-Dec-01 16:50 Sean Cundiff 22-Dec-01 16:50  The article states a 10-user connection limit. Multiple connection from one user (on a single machine) count as one connection. Two users from one machine (i.e. a service running under the system account and a user) connecting count as two connections. IIS connections usually connect under a special anonymous account IUSR_<machine name>. So all anonymous web connections count as ONE connection. If you set up a secure website (login required) there will be a 10-user simultaneous connection limit. This sounds like a limit on the number of users, not a limit on the number of TCP/IP connections. Check out the section named "More Information". It specifically talks about having two windows sockets (socket=1/2 of a TCP/IP connection) count as one connection. -Sean ---- "Vigilance With Pride" Re: 10-connection limit on TCP/IP? Roger Wright17-Jan-02 19:57 Roger Wright 17-Jan-02 19:57  There is a ten-connection limit on the Workstation/Professional editions, but it doesn't apply to IIS connections. It is intended, I believe, to limit RAS users on small networks. As an interesting sidenote, I attended a training meeting in Phoenix with Microsoft when they were handing out copies of Win2K Beta3, and found myself chatting at lunch with one of the engineers. He mentioned in passing that the Workstation and Server products were essentially the same animal, but optimized in the Registry for different roles. That leads me to believe that a sufficiently clever person (myself not included) might be able to open up this restriction to accomodate his/her needs. It's worth a look... Advanced TCP Logger v3.52 18-Dec-01 4:24 18-Dec-01 4:24  Advanced TCP Logger v3.52 This program is a simple proxy server(port-mapper). It is an ideal tool for monitoring any network software or for researching network protocols. Log files with all traffic that has passed through this program are organized in a nice manner and can be saved in a separate folder. Info: http://www.ntndis.com/utilities/atcp2log.htm Download: http://www.ntndis.com/downloads/atcp2log.zip Main features: + Written in pure Windows API + Display of all transmitted data + Total transferred bytes counter + Command line options + Packet Viewer What is the purpose of this program? When can this program be used? When can you needed it? - If you want a simple proxy server (e.g. port mapper, port redirector). - It you want to count traffic. - If you want to save all the traffic packets in files, which you might want to analyze later. - If you want to study a format of network packages(protocols) used in any unknown programs. - If you are the developer of the network equipment or software and you have to solve problems from area "Embedded-Ethernet", "microWEB". I.e. generally IP-access to devices based on microcontrollers. - If you want to see "live" activity of the network protocols (e.g.: pop3, smtp, http, icq, irc). - You want to disassemble activity of scripts of any web-site and introduce automation into operations.

Connect the iPaq with win2000 17-Dec-01 18:35 17-Dec-01 18:35  When try to test the connection to Windows CE device in the Platform Manager of embedded Vc environment, it gives the following error message: Unable to connect to the device. Please make sure you have installed the underlying transport (e.g., ActiveSync) and have a device connected. This problem may even occur when Microsoft ActiveSync already has a connection established to the Windows CE device at the same time. How to solve this. Re: Connect the iPaq with win2000 Mike Epprecht28-Jan-02 4:40 Mike Epprecht 28-Jan-02 4:40  Hi Have you tried to upgrade to ActiveSync 3.5? I had similar issues with 3.1. Cheers Mike Start>Run... Huh? User 842015-Dec-01 10:11 User 8420 15-Dec-01 10:11  I have something interesting going on... Operating System: Windows 2000 (SP2) Whenever I use Start>Run (or Windows + R) to run an app (usually "regedit", but it does the same with notepad or any application) it correctly launches the application but also displays the error message "Cannot find the file 'regedit' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." After I press "OK" on this messagebox the "Run" dialog re-appears. The application IS running and IS useable. I've searched high and low on the internet (including Microsoft's site) to no avail. Apparently I'm the only person on the planet that this happens to. It is consistent (happens every time). If I use "Run" with a URL it works OK, it only does this with applications. This isn't a "show stopper" but it certainly is annoying. Any ideas??

Michael Dunn15-Dec-01 16:35 Michael Dunn 15-Dec-01 16:35  Could be a virus, or the remains of a virus that incompletely removed. Some Windows viruses associate themselves with .EXE files. Look in HKCR\.exe and HKCR\exefile and see if there's anything suspicious-looking there. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "Not our fault we are intellectually superior to the rest of the office." -- Paul Watson in the Lounge, 12/12/2001 Sonork - 100.10414 AcidHelm Big fan of Alyson Hannigan. Re: Start>Run... Huh? User 842016-Dec-01 6:31 User 8420 16-Dec-01 6:31  Nothing "suspicious-looking"... ...but then again, I have no idea what I'm looking at in this area of the registry. One thing that strikes me as odd, is that I can't find any hint of this issue anywhere on the internet. It's kinda tricky to search for, but I haven't found a thing. I had also considered the possiblity of virii, but I would have thought somebody else would have noticed/reported it. Oh well, maybe it's a really, REALLY bad virus writer and I was his/her first victim and the virus died. Mike Mullikin - Sonork 100.10096 "Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so?

Michael Dunn16-Dec-01 15:18 Michael Dunn 16-Dec-01 15:18  Anything suspicious would be under HKCR\exefile\shell, especially shell\open\command. The default value of the command key should be "%1" %*. If there's an .exe name there, instead of %1, then it's likely a virus. --Mike-- My really out-of-date homepage "Not our fault we are intellectually superior to the rest of the office." -- Paul Watson in the Lounge, 12/12/2001 Sonork - 100.10414 AcidHelm Big fan of Alyson Hannigan.

Any idea what executable is run when I use Start/Run? Nothing new gets added to the Applications or Processes in Task Manager. Is it part of explorer.exe??
