File I/O And Registry :: Empty The Recycle Bin In Xp / Vista / 7?
Aug 21, 2010
I'm making a cleaning program and one of the things it does is cleans the recycle bin. How do I do it for Xp, Vista, and 7? I'm on Visual Basic 2010. Also, how do I make it so that it automatically finds the username and uses it when the program deletes a folder. Right now I have it so that you need to enter your username in a textbox and then it uses that for the directories. I know it's something with SystemInformation.UserName.

I have a VB.NET application that I have developed in VS 2008. The app is a basic monitoring app that checks in with a central server every so often, reports the status of events on the PC, and reacts accordingly to commands provided by the central server. The application validates 3 registry keys when it first starts: 2 are variables used in the application (HKLMSoftware[Company Name] -- when to check-in & how often) and the third is just an entry in HKLMSoftwareWindowsCurrentVersionRun to make sure it is started upon reboot. If the appropriate keys do not exist, the app will create them on behalf of the user.The EXE has been packaged and installed on a handful of machines without any issues. We then started having issues when it was installed on 64-bit Vista machines. The app locks up upon start (when trying to write the keys) and writes the below error to the error log:
Error Number: 5
Error Description: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
Error Source: mscorlib

This icon is the Application icon which is in the same directory of the project.vbc is started with /win32icon:"Recycle Bin Empty.ico" parameter.Don't know why MSBuild can't reach the file.

I'm running Windows Vista with admin privilege and UAC is disabled but still unable to write to windows registry!
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue _
("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", _
"Test", "C:Test.exe", Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String)
I'm getting error "Unauthorized Access Exception was unhandled."
"Access to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE....' is denied."
I've googled the net and found that registry permission elevation is required for admin tasks, Is there away to take registry key ownership through VB.Net code??

I am writing a program to manage some of my files. I already know when I want to send a file to the recycle bin, so I don't need the system to prompt me each time. How do I tell it to back Off, and just do it?
Here is my
Sub RecycleBinFile(ByVal strFilename As String)
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(strFilename, FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs, FileIO.RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin, FileIO.UICancelOption.DoNothing)
End Sub
Some of my research has pointed me to FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs.

Is there a way in vb.net to undelete a file (deleted from Recycle Bin) or should i turn to unmanaged code? Write your code as efficient as you can to reduce CPU load, to consume less energy and protect our planet from global warming.

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.

I 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 am using VB.net 2008 and Windows XP.

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)
Finally, I want to apply this setting to the program on four different computers (local, and three others on the network).
