View 4 RepliesI thought I postet this yesterday but I can't find my thread so if this is a duplicate please point me at the original one. Background: I need to create a user account and Modify it's registry before the user logs on the first time. Creating the account is done by using the Winnt provider (works great). To create the profile I'm trying to use Process.start to launch a process as the newly created user. With the use of loaduserprofile property the users profile gets created and i can do my regwrites without problem.

i have a project that requires me to make a unit converter. the units should be defined within the program. i have reached a point where i save the defined units in a text file for a simple example converting meters to kilometers where it gets divided by 1000 i made the program to save the a string in a text file to represent that as:
meter,kilometer,0.001
which means it gets multiplied by 0.001 anyway the problem that i'm facing that when i want so save another units in the same file the previous units gets deleted. how to make the program update the text file that it adds the new defined units in the same file but before that it looks in the test file if the unit is already exists and if it does it will replace it with the new value
is it possible to read a string just before the second comer? foe example if the string in a file is: meter,kilometer,0.001 it will read it as: meter,kilometer and is it possible just to read the last value? 0.001

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.
We got an old system here in .NET 4.0 using an Oracle DB. At some point, some calculus are made and the system "locks" that register in the table using the following command: "SELECT [the registry that will be update by the calculus] FOR UPDATE NOWAIT". So if anyone tries to calculate or update the registry with that ID it won't work. After calculating, the system connects to the DB again and then "releases" the registry by simply executing a Rollback command.
Theoretically, this is correct for the system(although I don't like it). Anyway, here is the thing: if something is being calculated(and these calculous take like 5 minutes to finish) and in the middle of the calculous I close the browser, the registry will still be "locked", only being unlocked when IIS restarts(actually I dunno if it's released first, I forced IIS restart 'cause it was taking too long).

I am cleaning up some code and I have multiple classes that are 99% exactly the same. So my understanding is that my options are...
1. Create a class and all other classes inherit from it and modify it a bit
2. Create an abstract class and all classes inherit from it and modify a bit ** I took this route
3. Create an interface and all classes Implement that interface.
Here is my 'original' class below (the one that all of them look 99% identical). This class is used in an arraylist so I have a listing of all my images from a folder I have searched.

Oasically outlook express now uses windows search to keep a count of emails sent. Whenever you get to 100 it forces you to manually compact them.
There is however a counter in the windows registry which can simply be set back to zero. I was wondering if i could create a macro that would load on windows startup that would reset the counter automatically in the registry whenever it got past say 75.
I have an application where i need to enumerate the random subkeys under another registry key and then create a new registry value. The problem is I cannot figure out how to enumerate those values and then write my new values The key specifically is SystemCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParametersInterfaces{NIC-id}where NIC-id is a subkey with random letters and numbers. However the caveat is if I can only write values under the NIC-id's that have IP addresses... if not that is fine too but I would prefer to only write the valus below under NIC cards that have IP addresses

I am making a file program that will store information that a user can not edit without using my file system. The only two ways I can see how to do this is to either create an invisible folder to hold the files, or make my own extension. I think it would be easier to create an invisible folder through VB if possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
