IMO, the most likely cause for this behaviour is that some program is (supposed to be) autostarted, but the start command contains a space character. And the command string isn't surrounded by quotes.
An example:
C:\Windows\System32\some program
This doesn't work, Windows doesn't find the program "C:\Windows\System32\some", so it opens an explorer window (showing the contents of C:\Windows\System32) instead.
The solution is to surrond the command with quotes, i.e.
"C:\Windows\System32\some program"
Now, it will work.
The problem is to find the registry setting containing the malformed command. Start searching for "C:\Windows\System32" (without the quotes) in the registry.
Then surround that command with quotes.

That's right, it might be a virus or malware.
But he won't have to see an explorer window when he logs in, though.

In that case, well he may not see windows explorer at every start up :-> But the sad thing is that he may neither see explorer nor desktop or any icons, even after startup

And the virus is likely to be very dangerous since the developer is causing things to happen that are not intended to happen.

Hi all,
I need to get the selected text in the running application. As we get the copied data from the clipboard.I want to use this in Outlook addin where it will return the selected text from the mail.Is there any provision for MailItem object in Outlook Automation?
Thanks in Advance.

I'm not understanding your requirement. Be more precise and just explain what your problem is. Do not give an detailed explanation of your project (unless required)

If MS Word is the editor there, then you can write it in VBA. I'm not sure, but there'd be something like selection.gettext

Is there any difference between the following two commands?
sprintf(oOrder.ContractName , "%s\0", ContTick.ContractName);
strcpy(oOrder.ContractName, ContTick.ContractName);
Both operands are defined as
typedef CHAR ConNameStr[11];

Not in the result, anyway.

Mark is correct. However, sprintf is used for copying the string with formatting, and strcopy is used purely for string copying. If you are just copying a string, why use sprintf with its apparent overhead. It also has more of a chance to cause a buffer overrun.

To add to previous replies. Here, you dont need to append NULL character , it will taken care by sprintf.

The results will be almost the same, save for the fact that the sprintf(...) example will place two NUL characters at the end of the string.
The sprintf(...) function is designed to build a formatted string using a variable list of parameters, and it can do this formatting in many different ways. As a result, its implementation is somewhat complex, and it may take longer to run than a call to strcpy(...) in this simple case.
The strcpy(...) function is designed to copy strings. As such, its implementation is much simpler, and it may execute faster than sprintf(...).
Both functions have the potential to overrun the target buffer, because they (as shown) will not limit the data copied to the buffer. Using a function like strncpy(...) allows you to enforce the amount of data copied to the target buffer, but you may have to watch out for a missing terminating NUL character in some cases.
Not that you asked, but I would suggest using strcpy(...)/strncpy(...) for copying strings - that is what they were designed to do and what they are generally optimized for. IMHO, using functions like printf(...)/sprintf(...) for static/constant strings indicates either a lack of understanding or a unconscious need to use a shotgun to kill a fly!

And you get the 5...!
Yeah, I know...  I was thinking about how the static string "%s\0" would actually have two NULs in memory.
Oh, well... I am sure we all have done something WTF-worthy once (or twice, or thrice, or a hundred?) times...

Why is Visual before Visual C++? What is it doing there, did it come from microsoft?
Also, this might be a little off topic but what about Visual Basic or Visual C#. Sorry, I'm new to these forums and coding.

C++ is a programming language, whereas Visual C++ is a (Microsoft's) IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that compiles your C++ code into Window's executables. So, Visual C++ is a product, a program, and C++ a programming language. The same for Visual Basic and Visual C#.

Just adding to the previous post, the Visual of C++ and the other languages comes from the IDE usage of wizards and designers the assist you to "visually" create applications. Thus, instead of writing code to place a textbox on a window, you actually drag and drop it and the designer will write the code as a result of that action.

VC++ is just like c++ but it has support to write Window Based program. yeah it's from MS
but based on specification of ANSI

That can be very confusing. Beginners often do not realize the difference between the language/compiler and the other software that VC provides. It is very important to emphasize that VC is not the same as C++. Note that when I say VC, I mean the same as VC++ but the ++ part is as extraenous as all the other characters excluded from Visual C++.

So I should learn Visual C++ rather than C++?
