When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

how to POST to a php file form a vb.net app: http:[url].... So now I've logged in the user user by posting their username and password to the php file, the php file then does security/checks they exist/etc and if both username and password are correct is stores the user ID in a session variable.Now if the vb.net app tries to download data off a page which needs the user to logged in, it checks this by doing:
if (!isset($_SESSION['uid'])) {
header("Location: index.php");
}
However after having logged correctly in the app the session variable is not set.How does session work with a vb.net app like this?When the user logs in successfully should I download the user id and keep it in the vb.net app and then post it to each page that requires authentication?
I'm making "Sticky Notes" and I want to be able to pin those stickies to the desktop. Sorta like a BottomMost function. Is there something like that I can use and if not, how would I even go about making a function that would keep my form on the desktop?
'Pins the program to the desktop
If saved = False Then
saved = True : PinToDesktopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True : lblClose.Visible = False : Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
Else
saved = False : PinToDesktopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False : lblClose.Visible = True : Me.ShowInTaskbar = True
End If
The reason I'm not going to mark it resolved is because if I click pin to desktop and the desktop isn't the application directly under my application then I have to minimize every program to get it to stay on the desktop.
In my application, when the main form loads, it also loads a second form.
This form has it's ShowInTaskBar property set to False, has no control box, and is not movable by the user.
This form is only used to show information about the PC, to the User.
I need a way to make the form pretty much completely inaccessible and appear beneath all windows. When the application loads, the second form loads above other windows and you can Alt+Tab to that form.
I was wondering if there was a way to get it to"set" itself on the desktop and no appear in the application list when you Alt+Tab.
