I dont know if I already posted this, excuse me if I posted already.
Through developing a printer driver I have stumbled on this question, there
are 2 types of surfaces Engine-managed, device-manged (standard and non
standard format).
In your opinion (and in the context of a printer driver) what is the best to
use and why? What are the differences between them and how are they
implemented? And above all is there any information or examples of each type
 (I know that MSPLOT in the DDK implements a Device-managed non standard
surface).
Thanks in advance

How do I apply certain group policy settings like hide desktop icons, disable task manager, etc. to a Windows user group? I need to it on a domain as well as on a workgroup computer.
|
|
|
|
|
Active Directory and normal Domains support Group Policies, workgroups do not.
If you want to know how to do this stuff, it's WAY beyond the scope of a forum. I would highly suggest picking up the Windows 2000 Server (or whatever server your using for your domain controller/Active Directory servers), Resource Kit.

I have created an index for the folder(windows2000 operating sys).
Now I want the script of Indexing. Where can I get the script?
Thanks,
Anant

What on earth are you talking about?
Script for index? There is no script. The index is for searching the filesystem and is stored in a folder off the root of the volume called System Volume Information, which you can't get to.

This is the answer that i need and just ask[^] you before.

No, that's NOT the same thing. What's in that folder is the Full Text Search indexing of files on the hard drive. It is not the FAT or MFT table.

Hi, does any one know please give me the resource or an instructure to do it:
1. I want the user that log on to my tablet pc, it would start Office OneNote to record the sound automatically. An application is minimize but not show in the task bar, it will keep itself running and an icon put on the system tray. When the user log off or turn off the computer, the sound recorder in onenote will save to specific location (Exp: C:\soundrecorder).
2. I want to record a log of user during the time that they turn on/off computer and during the time that user log on/off the user.

The answer could be yes and could be no. My main purpose to have this feature because i want to control my tablet pc only. On the other, it us useful to prevent unauthorize people to use my computer when i far away from it. If i really want to spy the other people, i will use spyware. But i'm not think in that way. Do you know how to do that?

Hi, I found the information on the HDD about its speed. The label on the HDD tell me some HDD speed is 7200RPM, 42RPM, 5400RPM. If the HDD already plug in to the system and user forget to check the label for the speed of the HDD, is it possible for us to check the HDD speed in the windows OS?

Why would you care about it? Seeing if you got what you purchased?
There's no classes or API function that specifically check this. You'd have to use low-level DeviceIO operations to get the status information from the drive itself. Exactly how this is done, like what commands to send and how to interpret the results, depend entirely on the drive.
But, if all you're doing is checking the drive RPM once, then you can use the diags disk, that comes from the manufacturer with the drive, to check the spindle speed. If not, download it from the manufacturers site. They all have them.

Thank you very much Dave for your comment.
Dave Kreskowiak wrote: Why would you care about it? Seeing if you got what you purchased?
The reason that i worry about it because when i purchase the new computer, i choose 7200 RPM in the specification of the hard drive. And when i get the computer, it is already set up and i don't want to remove the hard drive from the system unit to check it. That is why i want to find any tool just to check the speed of the hard drive.

Easy enough. Just download the diagnostics diskette image from the manufacturers web site. That will tell you everything you wated to know about the drive.

Hi, any electronic device when you use it for a long time it would in increase the temporature. For example TV, if you use and turn it off and after that you move it to any location (move because the TV is on the movable table) during the time that it steal hot, it would become easy to broken because the internal schema is hot and easy to disconnect from each other. Is the above statement is true? I do not have any reference or document about that, it just a comment from my friend. If the above statement is true, how about the tablet PC? People use it at school, during the time it turn on its internal schema would become hot and people use it on the hand and move around in the class. Is it easy to broken?

No, it's not.
What will kill the electronics more than anything is their own heat. Expansion and contraction from it's own heat will put more stress on the internals of the components than any moving of the device while it's "warm".

Here is what I concern, when the device become hot, does the schema of an electronic device become soft? (soft mean: like we use the fire to burn the metal until it melt). If it is become hot, then the schema easy to become disconnect from each other if the device are move around. This is what i mean, hope to see further comment.

If it gets hot enough, anything becomes soft. But, by the time the internals of an electronic device become soft, they would have long since failed.

CPU aside, nothing in the PC gets hot enough while operating to be of any concern. Mine runs at an internal temperature of about 33C, far too cool to melt anything inside (or even soften it). The CPU, if operated without a heat sink can get hot enough to destroy itself, but even then it will not get soft. Plastic parts nearby may melt, but movement will not cause the problem - heat will, and then only in a severely misconfigured system with no CPU cooling.
If the inside of a device ever got hot enough to cause parts to soften, the electronic functions of the system would have failed long before that event. Semiconductor devices are very sensitive to heat, and are destroyed by temperatures much lower than any that would cause structural weakening of the physical hardware.

Absolutely not true, unless the device is already broken internally. Heat will kill electronics, as will enough shock, but I assume you mean normal movements, not drop kicks across the room.
Jerky movements of a running device that includes moving components (a disk drive still in use, for instance) can cause damage, but powered off even laptop PCs are quite durable, hot or cold.

I do not mean drop, just a normal movement. I also have some more question to ask, please check here.[^]
