I would like to save let's say "HKLM/SOFTWARE" into file using API. First I open the key using RegOpenKeyEx. This works fine as I see that the ReturnPointer is different from zero and differs also when I switch from "SOFTWARE" to other subkey, therefore I assume no problem there.The problem comes when I want to save into the file. It creates only a blank file with return code of 1314. I have googled for this, but only found that this error means that application has no privilege to perform the action and I need to setup "SeRestorePrivilege" & "SeBackupPrivilege" property somehow. I haven't been able to find a good VB.NET example for this and as I am very weak with APIs I wasn't able to construct one of my own, therefore I would like to ask you for advice on this.Could you please help me on how to set the privileges so that I can export/import registry?

My application runs on a "server" machine and provides files (10megs - 100megs each) to 8 other computers. Currently this is done using a standard shared folder on all 8 computers and the server simply copies the file to \ComputerNameSharedFolder - and everything is great.However, due to new policies we need to remove all shared folders, so using a simple \ComputerNameSharedFolder is no longer feasible. Therefore I need to find a way for my application to be able to share these files in a safe, secure, and compliant way.There has been talk of using sFTP which would require each system to have an sFTP server running at all times (controlled by the application somehow), or also SSL was talked about as it can be integrated into the application easily, etc...

I've got a piece of VB script that runs from a logon script. It contains the line: objShell.run("regedit /s/c \SERVERNETLOGONScriptTest.reg", 0) Which imports a file into the registry just as I want. The /s switch means that I don't get the two warnings from the regedit program which is exactly what I'm looking for but everytime it runs the UAC asks for permission to make changes to the computer which of course I don't want to happen.

I have a service I have written in VB.NET In the past I have always done the installs (internal app), so I have the install set to User, and when I do:
InstallUtil "C:MyService.exe"
It prompts me for the Account and Password, and I am using the local administrator (.administrator)I am setting up an installation script now that the user's can just run to install, and I don't want to give them the administrator password. Is there a silent way to include the user/password in the command line?
I am in a bit of a situation here, because the default webbrowser control freezes my application.I'm trying to load the data of a website into structures/classes and update them ever 5 seconds. I am now using webbrowser controls, by delegate-creating them and using them in my threads.The problem is, that all those webbrowsers count up and lag my application terribly. Every 5 seconds it is impossible for the user to control the program; it freezes.
Does anyone know of a thread-friendly webbrowser/control that can:
- Disable navigation to certain urls (navigation events)
- Give events on document completed
- Return an html document (not text)
- Does not lag the program when navigating
I'm looking for a "silent" webbrowser. It doesn't have to display elements, I do want to read the elements.
I tried using htmlrequests, but the problem with that is that I need to stay logged in. If I request a different page with a htmlrequest (when I logged in), the server returns an "not logged-in error". As far I know you can't redirect htmlrequests after logging in, so I'm stuck at that point.
I am working on a Screenshot Taker project, my project captures the screenshot and saves, but to save it a saving dialog shows up, and you have to select where to save it, file name, and bla bla bla; I don't want it to be like that, I want the saving thing be silent, I don't want the dialog to show up, like I want everything to happen from behind the seens.

View 12 RepliesI am writing a small visual basic application to install clean up tools quickly on any machines that we need to work on here at my workplace. I am using 4-5 cleanup programs that I have packaged into MSI's and have batch scripts that I am calling in my visual basic application to run them as silent installs. However, because I am doing the silent installs, windows always pops up with the "open file - security warning" and I have to click run for each individual program. I am wondering how to get around this from my end within the application. I know it can be disabled in windows but I am not wanting to have to go through a process on every machine that I run this program on. I would like to find a fix on the back end in my script.

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?
