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.

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.

Nope, everything seems to look like it should. 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??

That's part of Explorer (it's just a modeless dialog), not a separate EXE.

Somehow, some way, it has healed itself...
This weekend after uninstalling a few un-needed apps (mostly shareware), accidentally un-installing MS Office and re-installing and patching MS Office my Start->Run sequence works properly again. I guess I'll never know EXACTLY what was wrong.
Oh well...

My fixit to general problems like this -- it to run Norton's WinDoctor (part of Norton Utilities). It seems to just run thru and make sure things are "right".
I strongly recommend it...

Hi All,
I'm writing a service, that spawns several new processes. These new procs can either be gui apps or console apps. I redirect the std handles (stdout/stderr/stdin) via anonymous pipes as seen in well known msdn articles. After creating the new processes I wait for all my pipe-handles to become signaled. So far so good. Everything works fine with console apps, but if I start a gui app (e.g. notepad.exe), the pipe handle (stdout) gets signaled and a following ReadFile() blocks forever!.
Okay, I tried to check for available data with PeekNamedPipe(). It's return value is always 0 (zero), so I skip the ReadFile(). But now the pipe handle becomes signaled ever and ever again and my cpu is at 100% with peeking the stdout pipe...
I'm lost. What does Notepad.exe do with the std - handles?
Any hints would be very appreciated!!!
Frozen greetings from Germany,
Jens

Maybe the problem is that you try to talk with GUI applications by the same way as with console applications. They should be handled by the other way. After creating the process use WaitForInputIdle() to wait for it's initialization. FindWindow, EnumWindows etc. allow to get window handle, after this talk with this window using PostMessage. Check out also windows hooks (SetWindowsHookEx). There is nothing to do with pipes here.

...sure, but my problem is the strange behavior. I don't know whether I start a gui- or console application, so I can't differentiate between them. If a gui applicaton doesn't touch the std-handles, why do they behave in such a strange fashion?

Maybe function IsGUIThread may help you.

|
|
What about CreateProcess and waiting on the process handle?
Actually, from your description I'm not entirely sure what you really want to do.

I want to use CButtonST but as they say in the discussing board on the CButtonST page there is a bug with the transparency function. It looks corrupted sometimes and I don't like it! It's a bug according to the author and I ask you now if you know another class that can make hover event and transparent....???

Why don't you have a look at it and fix it then ?

Is there any API that can increase the volume?

What volume? What do you want to do? Is this related to sound, and in that case are you using DirectSound? I don't know much about DirectX, but I guess someone here could help you if you provided more info..

I wan to get the position of the window?
I use SetWindowPos(..) to set my app on top of all other apps. But I want to get the window's current positon on the desktop to assign the values in the function to stay where it was before!
HOW?
Show me code example! I know this is to easy but you can show me dude!

If you want to place a window top most just call SetWindowPos like this:
SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE);
Did I understand you right or I missed something?

Have u tried :
BOOL GetWindowRect(
HWND hWnd, // handle to window
LPRECT lpRect // window coordinates
);

Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the maximum password length for user accounts on NT to more than 14 characters?
|
|
|
|

You really want to make it hell to log in for your users, don't you? 
Anyway, I don't think it is possible. NT acutually keeps two separate hashes: LanMan hash and NT hash. I guess the limitation is in the LM hash. LM breaks the password into two 7-byte chunks, that are separatly checked against the SAM. For that reason, the first seven characters should not be "related" to the next seven. For example, "QWERTYQWERTY" is broken into "QWERTYQ" and "WERTY__", and if a hacker finds eiter one guessing the whole password is rather easy. You could also place a non-printable chars in both halves to make it harder to guess, like '(NUM LOCK) ALT-255'.
Hope this helps

I said the maximum, not the minimum. The reason is that I find it much easier to choose passwords from random phonemes via a Markov chain rather than by choosing random characters. 10 random elements from a third-order Markov chain must have several dozen characters to achieve the same entropy as 10 random alphanumeric/symbol characters, but can be more easily remembered because it can be pronounced with sounds consistent with the user's native language.
Those who want to use this system for choosing truly random passwords find that the time it takes to type in 30 characters is significantly less than the time it takes to look up an 8-character password in a secure password-storage device.
Thanks for the explanation of the NT password mechanism. I may need to accelerate the move to all-Win2K systems just because of this security problem!

Ops. Sorry about the misreading..
Anyway, I think Microsoft has provided some kind of Hotfix to turn LM authorization off if you don't need it. Check the sequrity site for that. Still don't know if there is a way to increase password length..
