I am playing with a simple file browser using TreeView. Why would I get "Access to the path is denied" on My Pictures, My Music and My Videos? No problem with My Documents and countless other folders and sub-folders, just My Pictures, My Music and My Videos. Obviously I can access these folders fine in Windows Exlporer or from VB.NET using OpenFileDialog. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit BTW:

My situation is a little different. In my VB.NET project, I have imported (or created) a website that is contained in a folder named SAHelp. The idea is to have a local website installed to the user's computer so when they click help, the file C:[installation path]SAHelpindex.htm will open in their default browser.
I can certainly make this work by publishing a website to the real internet such as: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.SomeDumbWebsite.com") which would act as my online help. But I want to bury this in my application.
Part 2: I'd like to detect if the user has an active internet connection:
If (User has Active Internet Connection) then
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.SomeDumbWebsite.com")
else

I'm a newbie to VB 2008 Express. I have a treeview to which I'm trying to add icons. I've added the icons to the treeview images collection, and I've put an imagelist on the form and added the icons to the listview images collection. I can't seem to work out the syntax required to show the icons.
Code:
Me.TreeView1.Nodes(0).Nodes.Add(driveName(i) & volumeLabel(i), _
driveName(i) & " " & volumeLabel(i) & formatSize(freeSpace(i)) _
, ??? )

I am creating a webbrowser with Visual Basic, and I have finished everything but this: When I click on an external link, (I.E. On a photo, or on youtube) it opens up in a new IE window. I want it to open in my browser, not Internet Explorer.I have read everything I have found on this subject, but it is all for normal web browsers. I want to do this for a tabbed web browser, not one without tabs. Basicly, I want to use this code with my tabbed web browser that uses tab control.
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow(ByVal sender
As Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow
[code]....
convert the code to be used in a browser with tabcontrol? I tried, and it works with one that DOESN'T use it, but I want to use it with my browser with tabcontrol. And, I have read ALL of the ones previously given to other people.

TortoiseSVN and Dropbox both have Windows shell extensions that make file icons within Windows Explorer show a small icon beside the main one, showing the file's status - has it been synced, etc How can I make my application show icons beside files like that using the Windows API? Or is there some file attribute to do that?

I coded a web browser over the course of a year called Nova - very advanced with tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, etc etc etc etc. I could go on all day about how advanced it is. But.. there is one flaw. You cannot make it the default browser; I don't know the code!I already know the CommandLineArgs stuff so it actually opens the HTML file rather than just opening the program; in fact, I already can make files open with Nova completely. It's just the other stuff - you know, when a website is to be opened from a help file or something, it opens with Nova, Windows recognises it as the default browser, stuff like that.

Other topics around the Internet are all unfinished topics, so I'll ask this myself. How do I set a self-made browser as the default browser? I know it has something to do with accessing the registry and checking what the value is in some places, but I'm not quite sure. Now, I've made this browser called Nova;
very well coded and advanced, tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, can change default search provider, uses Gecko as its engine so it's not just an IE shell, etc. It's been developed over the past year and will still continue to be developed. I'm almost ready to release the first version - but I just need this annoyance solved.

Basically the problem i have is i have made a program that creates and installs a registry key which changes default drive icons etc.
But registry key directories need double backward slashes in the directories, e.g.
What i recieve;
C:exampleicon.ico
What i need;
C:\example\icon.ico
I was thinking sending the directory i recieve to another textbox and replacing '' with '\'. Is this possible?

Q1: If I'm making a Web Browser with Visual Basics how would I make windows detect it so I can set it to my default browser?
Q2: How do I make it so when you click a link in your custom web browser that it opens a new window in your web browser, say I click a button on the internet and it opens in IE and I wanted it to open it in my custom web browser that I made with VB.
PS: I'm using Visual Basics 2008 Express Edition.

I would like to select a default node in a treeview(dirDB). That comes from a default drive selected in a combobox(drvDB) that selects files and puts them in a listbox(filDB) i haven't added anything to do that yet. at the moment i have this code:
If optMData.Checked Then
drvDB.SelectedValue() = "M:"
dirDB.SelectedNode.Text = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(CStr(drvDB.SelectedItem), 2) & "ase_wdata"
End If
I bet there is a function or a selectNode If kindof thing? i am totally looking over that can choose these. vb seems very good at putting things right infront of me and i just completely miss them..

I am looking to create a VB 2008 Express programme which converts a data stream from a picoscope muscle sensor into a power output board which controls a mechanism.In simple terms when the Muscle sensor reaches a value of 0.8 V or higher I want the programme to send a text file to the power output control programme, and likewise when the sensor is below 0.2 V I want the power to be zero.
So 0.8 V > = send text file (0O=100%)
0.2 V < = send text file (0O=0%)
so when muscles being senced move the device turns on and off.I think I am successfully getting the data stream from the Picoscope which is plugged in the usb. I am using codes and examples that the programming guide for the device provided.here is a quick snap shot of the code (ps2000 is the driver used for the device)
ps2000_open_unit()
ps2000_set_channel(ps2000_handle, 0, 0, 0, 1)
ps2000_run_streaming(ps2000_handle, 250, 1000, 0)[code].....
how to get the data to be displayed or how to tell the programme to do something with the data.The device also came with an example of how it can record data to an excel sheet if anyone needs the code to gain a better understanding.

I am using the function below to open the user's default web browser.
Public Function ShowHelp(ByVal url As String) As System.Diagnostics.Process
Dim startInfo As New Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
startInfo.FileName = url
[Code]....
A couple of times the function returned the error (on users machine) "the system cannot find the file specified"
I guess the user has not set a default web browser. Why i get this error? How could i add a default web browser check before calling this function?

How can I determine the default web browser, and then launch it with a specified URL?I was using this code, but since IE is less and less relevant, I thought I'd try to use whatever the computer user prefers. In this example I provided a SQL help site as the web site to load.
Code:
Shell("C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe " & "http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

I have created my own internet browser which is almost finished, I just need one more thing to make it complete.
I need my internet browser to be able to be set as the default browser. I have 2 applications 1 being the browser lets call it browserapp1.exe and I have another app which we will call setasdefaultapp1.exe, setasdefaultapp1.exe will be an application basic form with 2 buttons one to exit and one to make browserapp1.exe the default internet browser.
I understand that to do this I need to edit the registry
When the button on setasdefaultapp1.exe is pressed I want browserapp1.exe to become the default browser in the start menu, become the default for html, htm, php etc.. and also when a link is pressed in an email it needs to load my browser.

Firstly im aware that the code below will auto run the default browser.
Code:
But i need to find a way of finding out what the default browser is. Is there a registry setting that displays this? also whats the best way to monitor for a process start or exit?
I was thinking about making a listview that updates every second checking for new entrys or entrys that have gone. But is this the best way if i only need to monitor 1 or 2 proceses?
I did write(and worked before)
Code:
But thats not working now.

Is there any way to make Windows call a VB program instead of the default Internet browser?
What I want to do is to use a VB program with buttons down the left-hand side that when clicked will launch that URL in the browser windows of the form. This will prevent users from surfing in places they shouldn't but still allow them to get to the sites they need to get to for their jobs. These buttons could also change based on the username of the person launching the program.
But it all depends on being able to call this program in place of the browser when they click on a link in a email or somewhere else.

I've done a webbrowser and I want to make it mi default webbrowser and .html viewer. I've found a registry modification, but, when I try to implement a registry modification code, my webbrowser requires to be ran in admin mode. Can I implement a code that doesn't requires admin (like firefox - when you want to make it default browser, it doesn't requires to be ran in admin)?
