View 4 RepliesMake A Simple Program Shell?
May 4, 2009I'm trying to make a per-user shell for a Vista box to simplify use of a particular system for my users. I have no problem making a program that I want to use and I am familiar with the process of editin the registry to make my program the users shell but I've run into a snag.
Whenever a user with the custom shell logs on, there is a delay just after they enter their password where the system will sit at "Preparing Desktop" for about 30 seconds. I know for a fact that the user desktop is already made and this shouldn't be taking that long.
I've poked around on the web and see various places saying that winlogon is waiting for the shell to flag a "shell ready" flag of some sort but I am unfamiliar with any such flag.
Anyone know of such a fix for the long login time or anything about a shell ready flag?

May 1, 2012I just have a simple vb.net website that need to call a Sub that performs a very long task that works with syncing up some directories in the filesystem (details not important).
When I call the method, it eventually times out on the website waiting for the sub routine to complete. However, even though the website times out, the routine eventually completes it's task and all the directories end up as they should.
I want to just prevent the timeout so I'd like to just call the Sub asynchronously. I do not need (or even want) and callback/confirmation that it ran successfully.[code]...

Aug 23, 2011Im learning Visual Basic 2010 on my programming class and we reached the part of file handling. Here i tried to make a simple program that can create a text file with the content of what i type on the textbox, basically i create the file if it doesn't exist, and if it already exists i append the content to it. Once the file is saved i can read it using the "Open" button. Unfortunataly, whenever i try to create the file, the compiler gives me an error saying that it cannot modify a closed file, although i've followed up the execution instruction by instruction and i can't find the error.

Program Locking When Performing Some Tasks
Feb 3, 2011I have a program that has the option to create a restore point. My problem is that when you click on it to do so, the program just locks up until it's finished creating the restore point. I have put a separate form on the program and it has a Marquee Progress Bar Control which I downloaded, so the idea is.
User clicks "Create Restore Point"
frmRestore.show
Marquee Progress Bar goes on and on while the restore point is created
Restore point is done
frmRestore.hide
The thing is, when you click create restore point, the form shows and the program just locks up, onces the restore point is created the form hides again. Could this problem be solved with a Background worker? To be honest I'm not completely sure what it does, I mucked around with the controls but can't seem to find anything useful.

Incorporate Licence Key And Locking System To Program
Jan 19, 2012I'm interested in making a licence key system to incorporate into my programs. I understand the general idea of checking a database for used keys, but I don't know how I can implement a system into my programs.
I had an idea of creating a custom algorithm, creating a file which contains the licence key, which is encoded with the new algorithm. So people can't just guess the licence because they can't understand what the algorithm (like a custom hash) means. On the contrary, would it be possible to somehow set a licence key variable in my program when it is built or installed somehow? Because I don't understand how it would be possible to work out what key the user needs etc...
After writing that last sentence, I realised that when somebody pays for some software or registers, their username and email is put into a database, and then when they want to register the software, they have to fill in their username, email, and then licence key. Then the key will be filled in in the database. Would that work?

View 6 RepliesLocking - Program Locks Up With Internet Explorer Opened
Jul 7, 2009I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and developing a VB.NET application. I'm having strange lockup problems with my program, but only when Internet explorer 8 is opened.
When I cover my form with another window and then uncover it, I find that it has locked up. My program has no references to IE and the only thing it even has to do with IE is using Process.Start with a web address.
My program works fine and exactly as it should, but only when IE is not opened.
Does anyone know why a program would lock up only while IE is running?
Edit: I've done some digging and I've found the offending thread in my program.
I don't know what starts this thread or what it does, but when I kill it, my program no longer freezes. The thread is one of the CreateApplicationContext threads, here is the last few items in the stack trace of that thread.

Program Hangs After Leaving Screen Saver Or Locking Computer?
Nov 15, 2011Our program works fine, until someone locks the computer or the screen-saver pops up (but not ctrl+alt+delete). Once the computer is unlocked/the screen saver is closed, the application stops drawing everything except the title bar, and stops responding to input - it displays a mostly-white window which can't be moved or closed.(Example of application freezing - the mountains are from my desktop background)If we let it sit for about 5~10 minutes, it comes back to life, and doesn't hang again (even after locking the computer/screen saver popup) until the application is restarted.

View 6 RepliesRun A Simple Operation On Folder Of Pictures ?
Jan 23, 2011I am looking to create a small program in visual basic 2010 to perform the following actions on some photo's.
#1) I want to select a folder, that contains say 3 to 10 pictures all of which will have random file names (including some characters like - _ ~ )
#2) I want to resize each photo by 2pixels (both width & height)For right now shrinking it by 2 pixels would be best, i do not want to crop, as it may mess the photo up after a couple of times being run.So if it was 500x500 to start with, when its done, it should be 498x498.
#3) I want to save these newly resized photo's as newly created files.We can either delete the old ones automatically & save the file with the same name. Or simply add a random 1 digit # to the old file name, for the new file name.Either way, I do not want to "save over" the old file.I have never worked with any type of image operation in VB before so I have no idea where to start.
Generate A Simple Filename That Is Non Duplicate On Existing Folder?
Jun 30, 2011I have a console application. I get the console application's folder path via this code:
dim Folder as string Folder = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
And I need to create a new file with this name Key.txt in the same folder as the console application. Because this file name is rather normal and there is possible duplicate in that folder. How do I prevent duplicate file name while still using simple name for that file?
