VS 2008 Program For Folder Redirection In Windows 7

Jul 28, 2011

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.

.net - Cannot Create Modify Text File Into Program Files Folder Of Windows 7?

Jul 27, 2011

I make an application and make setup file using VS setup project. This work fine and create default text files into Program Files Folder for winodw 7/vista .but can not modify these files or create any new files.

There are few text files need to create ,modify during application running ,but in windows 7/vista unable to create,modify files.I am using full default admin right for these OS. If iuse C: root path then application work fine or for win XP no problem.I think UAC restricting to perform these opeartion. But i do not know how to change these restriction using vb.net, whenever application start.

I found one solution that , if change user rights manually then this problem solved.Follow these step to change your account settings.Control Panel-->User Accounts and Family Safety-->User Accounts-->Change User Account Control settings-->Never notify(Set tab to never notify).After this change need to restart system.Now can make all changes like windows XP into Windows 7.can also make changes into program files.

Its working fine, but need to make these changes manually in OS.but its not efficent solution. So if any one knows how can make these changes by coding that will nice.

VS 2008 Folder Permissions With Windows 7?

Jul 27, 2010

If I don't grant write permissions to the folder containing my exe file, I get an 'Access to the path binReleaseprogram.exe' is denied. But if I grant it write permission I don't get the error. Why would the executable need write permissions? I'm not writing anything to the root where it resides.

VS 2008 Windows Folder Permissions?

Jun 17, 2009

If I adjust permissions using the Security.Accesscontrol.DirectorySecurity on a directory, how can I make it so that subfolders automatically inherit the new permissions?

Brief overview of the situation is that my neighbors can't connect their Vista laptop to a shared folder on their computer running XP Home. They're getting access errors which I believe is because of the rights set on the folder. The problem is that XP Home won't let you adjust that and they're not upgrading.

I'm able to add the Everyone user to the directory I specify. But if I drag a new folder in or create a new folder, it does not have the Everyone user. Is there something I'm missing in this class that will let subfolders and files inherit the permissions?

Program Automation In Windows Using 2008?

Jul 30, 2009

I am trying to automate a program using Visual BAsic.NET. The idea is to invoke my "Program" at the click of a button, pass inputs to the program and save the results it would generate.For now I can invoke my program using VisualBasic.NET(comands: shell, appactivate), I can pass in data to the program( My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("a")),( just that it is broken).

the main problem is that the data to be input goes into a form with multiple tabs and I am not able to figure out the best way to select the correct tab so that I can throw my data in there and get to the results Also is this program has a dll( obviously I am new to windows application programming), is there any way i can directly pass data to the dll and get results?

Make Program 2008 App Steal Focus On Windows 7?

Jan 19, 2012

I'm trying to create an application in VB.net that can come to the front once a certain condition occurs (in this case, a file being created). I've tried the following code, but it just results in the taskbar button blinking on Windows 7:

Me.Activate()

I understand the reason for this, and I completely understand why people don't want any random application to steal focus (I hate it too). This is an extremely limited use application (only 3 computers will actually be using it), and the users in this case would want the application to popup in front (there will be an option to turn it off too).

Any ideas if this is still possible to do on Windows 7?
