I'm trying to create a software in VB.Net to disable the following from a Windows 7 pc. Cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, open, print, share, create shortcut, open with, send to, properties. i want to give users the option of disabling them selectively/individually via checkboxes so those options will be disabled in the right-click of a mouse. I'm aware that to do so I must disable them from the Windows registry.
My problem is I don't know which is the right key to disable as the registry is so huge & some keys are similiarly named. say what are the exact key locations of the above-mentioned right-click functions in the Windows Registry ?
I'm trying to create a software in VB.Net as my uni project to disable the following from a Windows 7 pc. I think they have to be disabled from the context menu of the Windows Registry, but instead of disabling the whole context menu, I'd like to disable the following individually.Cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, open, print, share, create shortcut, open with, send to, new, properties.I want to give users the option of disabling them selectively/individually via checkboxes so those options will be disabled in the right-click of a mouse.My problem is I don't know which is the right key to disable as the registry is so huge & some keys are similiarly named.Could anyone help me to say what are the exact key locations of the above-mentioned right-click functions in the Windows Registry or how to go about this ?
View 1 RepliesI am using simulator account with server_asp.net-kit. When I am running the application I reach the Ready to Send the Notfication POST page.
But from here I don't know how to redirect. I have tried:
RedirectURL=" & strYourSiteFQDN & strVirtualDir & "/PaymentConfimationPage.aspx?reasonCode=002" & vbCrLf

Do I need to use this page? How to redirect? Code I have is in VB whether C# code available?
I want to create several folders on a specified drive, some are up to 3 levels deep such as x:users\%username%Documents
%username% would be a folder created after the users actual user name
What I would like to be able to do is create these folders for each username that resides on computer including the "default user" however the rest of the built in windows accounts I do not need to do this with.
I then want to change the registry setting under each user, for example these two keys (their are more keys however but they all follow this except for the last part of the key where instead of personal it would be named videos or something):
HKUS-1-5-21-9999999999-999999999999-9999999999999-1002SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell FoldersPersonal: "C:UsersTest UserDocuments"
HKUS-1-5-21-9999999999-999999999999-9999999999999-1002SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell FoldersPersonal: "%USERPROFILE%Documents"
specifically this value needs to change "C:UsersTest UserDocuments" and this one "%USERPROFILE%Documents"
However it is my understanding that this key is specific to each user based on the S-1-5-21-999999999999-999999999999 number which I believe is referred to a GUID.
I know how to create a folder, I know how to change other registry settings that have integers but I am stumped on this.
I'm trying to add functionality to my application that will disable buttons and checkboxes depending on what version the OS is when the app is launched. I made a test app to test this but unfortunately I can not get it to work. Here is my code:

I am confused what will happen, when I disable a timer. Will it finish the process and then disable or will it immediately disable without completing process? for example
[Code]....
I want to run getMessage from somewhere else, so I need to disable timer during that time to be asured not to override anything and also before timer disable it should complete that function code.
to disable right click and to disable the start button and task bar?

Currently, I am try to get the email addresses that have been saved or stored by the user of the computer. This isn't the emails that the user has sent or received, or the contacts he/she has in his address book. Just simply the email accounts that have been accessed from the computer.I know that there are some locations stored in the registry that have the email account. The email addresses that are used on the current computer. I just can't seem to find them on my computer.I am not sure if the registry is the only place to find it or if it stored on the web browser such as internet explorer or google chrome.
View 1 RepliesI am writing an application that connects to a specific com port. This com port can change depending on how many physical ports are on the PC, and if other USB devices have installed com ports before this one.
I have the communication to the com port all working great, but I need to get the com port description not just the "COM#" which is all I currently get.
I found in the registry where the description is stored but am having trouble doing what I need.
In this key:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
there is a varied number of sub keys. The are numbered 0000-NNNN depending on how many ports you have. Inside each of these keys, there are multiple values, although I am only interested in one or 2 of them.
My problem is, that I do not know how to get a list of the subkeys (the 0000-NNNN keys/folders) from the original key I posted. I have looked through a few registry tutorials, and I can view the default value in the listed key, but I could not find how to list the subkeys of the listed key.
Does anyone have any sample code they could share that shows how I can get a listing of subkeys, and then run through those subkeys checking for a specific value in one of the strings contained in the subkey?

I just bet the answer to this question already exists, however I saw no search mechanism under the forum. Anyhow, I would like to change registry data, and this code is asking for an instance to the object.
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey = My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwa reAnyDWGSoftwareDWGtoPDFProSettings", True)
RegKey.SetValue("OutputPDFFileOpt", 1)
