I have a website that has highly granulised access and hence requires many web.config files. The problem is I would like to trim the menu so that only certain users will have access to certain folders. I have enabled trimming and setup roles in the sitemap, however when I access the page the menu is not show, as I am authorized to view the default page which is not in a subfolder. When I type the url of a page in sub folder's I have access.
How should I handle this:
A site map for each web.config file - don't know how this will work Removing the sub web.config file to only use a single one
I know this is out there and probably illogical but I was wondering if it was possible to take multiple picture files and compact them into one file.... and then retrieve them from the program later? Way to combine any amount of image files into one file

I'm developing an application to help law enforcement retrieve and analyze logs and other files left by the use of Pidgin (a multi-protocol messenger client). Right now I'm nearly done, but I want to add the ability to search chat logs for user-defined words or phrases and I don't even know where to begin.
Chat logs are stored as html documents in a folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/sub-folder fashion, where each sub-folder can have dozens of sub-folders inside of it, and the final sub-folder can have dozens if not hundreds of chat logs. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

I have an external harddrive and I usually backup my desktop with a cleanup folder which I usually move to the external harddrive.
The problem is: when I search for a file (i.e. example.mp3) I will find multiple copies which are taking up way too much space.
Is there an app or some code that can search for an extension (i.e. .mp3) and if it finds more than one copy of the same file, it can delete the extra file?
The reason I ask is: I have around 1300 different mp3s on my external harddrive and most of them are extra copies of the same mp3. When I search for the extension mp3 and I want to move all of the mp3s to a single folder I am prompted way too many times for overwriting or keeping the same mp3 file.
I need an app that can force the move without prompting and delete the extra copies; so, I am left with only one copy of each.
i.e.
mp3 files on external hard drive for backup:
song.mp3 > in one folder
song.mp3 > in another folder

i want to delete some files but only if they aren't in use. What i did was a try/catch:
Try
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(fileInfo.FullName)
Catch ex As Exception

Is there an faster way to delete files? Is it faster to check first if an file is open? If yes, how can i check if an file is open?
