Sorry, the allowable ranges don't overlap. Advanced Windows says 0x80000000 to 0xBFFFFFFF for 9x, 0x00010000 to 0x7FFEFFFF for NT.

Where in i'll assume the registry would i find the key for printer setup properties...?
I'm really tired of printing and having to click draft radio button...Printing in Normal for small articles is such a pain...so for the properties to default to draft would be a real time saver...Is this possible and where...?

This is not a question but an answer to people who edit registry and mess up their boot up etc. For Windows 98, the one way to restore the registry is to boot the system in MS-DOS mode and do a 'scanreg /restore' at the C:> prompt. Scanreg comes up with a screen from which you can select from previous backup of the registry provided your system backs up the registry at boot up every time. May be this is not possible for Windows 2000 server
or XP, but it is worth a try if your registry is messed up. For Window 98, holding the CTRL key takes you to the MS-DOS prompt but for Windows 2000 you might need your boot disk. I have done this anumber of times for Windows 98 -and it always worked- and never for Windows 2000 or XP.

For Windows 2000 server, pressing the F8 key while boot up will get you to the 'safe mode command prompt' and 'scanreg /restore'.

Hi there,
I have installed the NT Option pack over NT 4.0 sp 5, and use the personal web server to run ISAPI extensions of my development. The problem is, once a web page accesses a certain extension (DLL) and it is loaded into memory, I can't seem to unload it (stopping the web service doesn't help). This of course prohibits changing the code and trying again, since I can't replace the DLL in my SCRIPTS folder, unless I reboot  .
Any ideas?

Open a DOS prompt, CD to the scripts dir, and rename the DLL. Then you'll be able to rebuild it.

I've got a file explorer application - like Windows Explorer - and recently I discovered that ZIP files didn't show anymore in the file view under XP.
I've read at MSDN that people should now use IFolderView instead of IShellFolder but I just want my ZIP files back with a W95 to XP compatible solution.
As I don't have XP it is very difficult to test. Is there any shell guru there that can tell me what's wrong with my code so that in the end I can process ZIP files ?
hr = lpsfFolder->EnumObjects(NULL, SHCONTF_FOLDERS|SHCONTF_NONFOLDERS, &pItems);
while (hr == NOERROR) {
hr = pItems->Next(1, &pidlNext, NULL);
if (hr == NOERROR) {
lpsfFolder->GetAttributesOf(1, (LPCITEMIDLIST*)&pidlNext, &dwFileAttributes);
if (dwFileAttributes & SFGAO_FOLDER) {
}
else {
lpsfFolder->GetDisplayNameOf(pidlNext, SHGDN_FORPARSING, &StrRetFile);
StrRetToStr(StrRetFile, &lpszFileName, pidlNext, lpMalloc);
...
}
...
How do you call this new property of ZIP files to be processed as folders by Window ? I can't find any info anywhere but it seem pretty interesting - when they show
Thanks,
btw I moved this thread form the C++ forum to the OS forum

Can you use ::GetVersionEx(...), or is it different for kernel mode?

It mus be different for kernel mode, else he would not have asked. I mean a guy writing kernel mode code would prolly have heard of GetVersionEx anyway.

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.

Okay!

Thanks Agus (and everyone)
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

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?

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?
Best Regards,
Maxim
