Oct 25, 2010I have discovered Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments and My.Computer.Filesystem.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments
I know how to check if the folder exists, but it's awfully difficult to find a way to create a folder in a 'special folder'.

View 11 RepliesVS 2008 : Make Buttons That Will Open Each Of The "special Folders" In Windows Vista?
May 18, 2009I'm trying to make buttons that will open each of the "special folders" in Windows Vista. Here's an example:
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
Process.Start("explorer.exe", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments))
End Sub
As you can see in the above code, the button will open the Documents folder. My problem is the only folders this method can open are the documents, pictures and music folders, while I also want to open these folders below:
Downloads
Videos
User folder (aka the folder that has the user name on it)
Computer (aka My Computer in XP)
how to do that?
Bug Deleting File From Special Folder On Checkbox Click?
Jun 10, 2010I've been going round and round with this and thought maybe someone would know.I've created a program which with process.showdialog calls up a form into which the user enters username and password then is given access to the program itself. If the username and password is incorrect, the program closes.
There is a frmMain and in the form load I've added the process to open this sort of splash login screen. It's not a splash really, it isn't timed to close down.
I fill out the login information, click the save settings checkbox which creates a settings file in MyDocuments. My problem is that in debugging, removing the click closes the login page without the click actually becoming unclicked. The Main program opens before there's been a chance to register the "unclick." Hope this makes sense.

View 18 RepliesDetect If Folder Is Shortcut In Vista?
Jul 27, 2009I 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"?

May 5, 2011I was having trouble before editing the registry on a WPF application I'm working on, in order to get autostart to work, so I ended up creating a shortcut in the startup folder to automatically start the application. My problem is, that this not working on Windows 7 (and Im guessing Vista too). Here's my code. Does Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup not work on Windows 7?

How Detect Folder Permissions In Vista With Net 2005
May 22, 2009I 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.

View 1 RepliesForm.Webbrowser Control Different Between Vista 32bit And Vista 64bit?
Oct 11, 2009I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.
A Special Program
Aug 29, 2009I've created the design of it, I just have no clue how to load.
Basically, there is a Dropdown box that connects to a folder. In the folder, are txt files. I need w/e text files are there on startup to be shown, in the dropdown box. Then, I need it so when somemone selects one of the files in the dropdown box, it read's the text file and performs some tasks. (I am getting really confused on how I could do this)
So basically, the dropdown is just for selecting the Text File.
In the textfile would be things like this:
open {test.java} (This would internally open the named java/ or whatever file)
find {test} (This would find the word test in the file)
add {testadd}, {under} (Would add "testadd" underneath The searched "test"}
remove {testadd} (Would remove "testadd")
save {test.java} (would save)
stop {c:/location/compile.bat} (Would Basically load the bat file.)
As if this wasn't complicated enough, then how would I get the compile.bat stuff (Like the log that comes from it, etc) to show up in a rich text field?
I cannot figure this out O_O

Asp.net - Fix Special Characters In String?
Aug 3, 2010I've got a program that in a nutshell reads values from a SQL database and writes them to a tab-delimited text file.The issue is that some of the values in the database have special characters (TM, dash, ellipsis, etc.) When written to the text file, the formatting is lost and they come across as junk "â„¢ or â€" etc"
When the value is viewed in the immediate window, before it is written to the txt file, everything looks fine. My guess is that this is an issue of encoding. But, I'm not real sure how to proceed, where to look, or what to look for.Is this ASCII or UTF-8? If it's one of those how do I correct it before it's written to the text file.Here's how I build the text file (where feedStr is a StringBuilder)
objReader = New StreamWriter(filePath)
objReader.Write(feedStr)
objReader.Close()
