View 1 RepliesI am working in visual studio 2010, framework 3.0.I want to enumerate the Audio Recording devices on Vista and Windows 7 PCs. With the help of Core Audio APIs, this is completed successfully. Now I want to change the default state of devices and also I want to set the state of Disabled device to Enable. In Core Audio APIs, it is not possible. So can I use the Registry to Enable the device or change any device to DEFAULT?On changing the default device from SOUND dialog, windows makes some changes of Binary values in registry Role:0, Role:1,ole:2under HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionMMDevicesAudioCapture {GUID}.

What i will be using when moving files to a temporary folder.
View 14 RepliesI have a problem with the temporary internet files. I know how to locate the folder and all the rest, but I'm going to see what second c 'is in the folder with Explorer I see dozens of files, but when I go to see through code, I see only two files, index.dat and desktop.ini. I thought that the index.dat file is a kind of file that contains the files that I see through explorer, but it seems too light, and still do not know how to copy the files it contains.

View 2 RepliesI have created an updater for our clients application. The way the updater works is to download all the updated files and store them in a temporary folder then check the file hashes. If everything is ok it will copy the files to the applications installation folder. Once this is been completed it will delete all the updated files in the temporary directory.
My problem: I am looking for a directory that will be available for XP, Vista, and Win7. I was thinking about the 'temp' directory.
creating a new folder on a temporary file and moving/copying a file on the newly created temporary file.
View 4 RepliesI have a VB program that creates a temporay PDF file then opens Outlook and attaches the file. I create the file in hte application path (the location that the program is running from - normally C:Program FilesProgamName This works fine in XP as it appears there are no crazy permission issues. However in Wondows 7, the file does not appear. There are no errors, the file does not exist in that location.
I've changed the path to the root of C:, however this doesn't work either. I suspect it's something to do with W7 virtualisation, so the question is where can I create a file that I can then access again?
I was trying to avoid creating it on a share on a server, but it's looking like this is the only place to put it as there doesn't seem to be many places a user can write files to in Windows 7.
Surely there must be a location that users can access (without being administrators) to create files. Don't even get me started on the fun I have had with the registry in W7!
I installed the new one. I then imported an old project made using vb 2008 EE.I found that a few errors were reported.In the project I addressed some function from a dll called "rsource.dll". I used the following function call:Public Declare Function rs_init Lib "rsource.dll" Alias "init" () As Double.The other different thing is the projevt was developed on a 32 bit OS but since then I have upgraded to 64bit (if this makes any difference). he other thing is where is the debugger PAUSE button. has it been removed from vb 2010?Also when i run debug it seems to create the exe in the Build output target folder instead of the default bindebug folder why is this?

I would like them to go in bin/Debug/Test without having to write the actual location, since the project folder may change from user to user (i.e. they don't place their project in the same folder I do).

View 2 Repliesi have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.
I have a program here that gets a list of directories from drive, and it works fine, but keeps listing the directories that are actually shortcuts/ junctions. For instance,[code]Will list all the directories(and files as well with .GetFiles) in 'c:\Users\All Users\', even tho 'All Users' is just a shortcut. This can lead to some problems, like 'c:\Users\All Users\Application Data\' lists all the files/folders in "All Users" including "Application Data", so it'll just keep recursing itself until it quits with an error. I can hard code it, and ignore that specific folder, but theres a few other shortcut folders that exist as well..So is there any way to detect and ignore those "directories"?

View 4 RepliesI have an app written on an xp pc which I want users to run on Vista
The app needs to delete a file on a portable drive in a particular folder
This folder was created on the xp machine and copied to the portable drive
The app will not delete a file in this folder on Vista but it will on xp
When I check folder security on vista (which does not exist on xp) I find that the folder does not have full control assigned
my app will write a file to that folder & delete it but will not delete a file put there from the xp pc
If I change the security in vista to full control it works
what I want to do is see if the folder has full control when the user selects it and advise them they need to alter security as I can not do it in the program
basically I want to advise them the moment they select the folder, not when it fails to delete the file after entering misc details in the app which are reuired before the file is deleted.
