After playing around with those API's for a few hours, I finally figured out that it appears that all they do is change the display area of a monitor, the same as happens when you use the buttons on your monitor to change contrast and brightness etc along with where the picture is displayed on screen etc. I am more after an API to say for example to move the secondary monitor from the right side of the primary monitor to the top of the primary monitor in a multimonitor setup.

Thanks for your efforts though.

Adding Windows Component

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:41:33 -0700

Hello,

Is there a way to create a program that adds windows components to a computer?

Or if not, then at least check if one or other component exists on the computer (is installed)?

(I wanna determine if "Enable network COM+ access" from "Application Server" is enabled on Win2003 Server. But any help towards this issue would be nice :))

Thanks

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:36:15 -0700

Hi,

I get process working set size by using System.Environment.WorkingSet and stores it in a variable and named it ENWS,
Then I get same process working set size by using GetProcessMemoryInfo API function and named it APWS,
and also I get same process max working set size with GetProcessWorkingSetSize API function and named it MAPWS,
And questions:

First: MAPWS is very very smaller than APWS and ENWS? Why? And what is different? (different is about 200MB!)
Second: ENWS is different from APWS? Why these two are differ from each other? (different is about 40000 bytes)

Can any one help me?

Cant remember Windows password?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:43:25 -0700

Forgetting your Windows administrator login password. With no way to get into the system, you can’t even perform basic maintenance, let alone a thorough tune-up. Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort. (Plus, guess who’s going to have to help reinstall all the programs lost after a wipe?) But all hope is not lost. There are a few ways to actually retrieve a lost Windows account password. Read on, and we’ll show you the light.

====1st Method====
The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget your user account password then try this:
Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys twice and it’ll show Classic Login box. Now type “Administrator” (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from “Control Panel -> User Accounts”.
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.

====2nd Method====
1. Reboot your machine.
2. Press F8 before the Windows boot screen appears.
o Do not press F5 as used on the NT/9x series of Windows.
3. You will be be prompted with a boot options menu.
4. Select the Start Windows in Safe Mode option.
5. Click through several self-explanatory screens until your reach the familiar 'Welcome' screen.
6. Note that this welcome screen is limited to 256 colors and 640x480 resolution because the primary graphics will have been set to the Windows Safe Mode software VGA adapter. You will not be able to change this mode even in Display options, while Windows is running in Safe Mode.
7. Find the icon for the Administrator user. If the default settings of your system haven't been changed, there should be no password for this account.
o The Safe Mode Welcome screen might display some of the other users on your system.
8. Login as the admin.
9. Press Yes at the prompt asking if you would like to continue using Safe Mode.
10. Continue on to the User Settings control panel. Here you can change any of the other passwords for user on the machine. Make any changes you want.
11. Reboot your computer. As long as you don't press any keys (i.e. F8) during the boot-up the computer will startup normally.
12. Login as the user for which you set the password.

====3rd Method====
Windows XP and further versions also provide another method to recover forgotten password by using “Reset Disk”. If you created a Password Reset Disk in past, you can use that disk to reset the password. To know more about it, please visit following links:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305478

====4th method====
Comparatively, using windows password Recovery Tool utility is a reliable and convenient method for solving the password problem. Normally, the program can easily reset the password to “Blank” with no -reformatting or installation. Do all the job for you automatically. Unfortunately, it is not safe to use some free recovery tool to recover windows password. So here is the recommend recovery tool：windows password Recovery Tool 3.0 .
you could see the recommendation of articlesbase.
http://www.articlesbase.com/security-articles/how-to-reset-recoverfind-forgotten-windows-nt-2000-xp-2003vista-administrator-password-1282019.html#

====5th method====
If it doesn't work above ,I hope that you have some hacker friends.

Were you able to change the secondary monitor position through an API? I not only need to change the position but also enable the secondary monitor. Thanks for your help.

NTFS Change Journals

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:02:51 -0700

Hi,

I am new to Windows related Code in C++.

Currently, I wish to monitor my system for the modified files using NTFS Change Journals. I tried to query the Journal data (using DeviceIOControl) and get the modified file details. I need some clarifications regarding the below things.

1. Is there a way to search notifications for particular folder (say only My Documents and My Pictures) or particular fileTypes (say jpg, doc, etc).
2. Is there a way to search only recent modifications (say for the past 1 day or 5 hrs, etc)
3. If my application create journal for a volume and stopped means, then in the next time when it restarted can I monitor the changes during the period when my application was not running. (I tried it , seems I can't do it).
4. If I modify a file present under 'D:/Testing/Test.txt', it seems the usn_record 'ParentFileReferenceNumber' is for D: and the 'FileReferenceNumber' is for the particular file 'Test.txt'. But what I think is the 'ParentFileReferenceNumber' should be for 'D:/Testing' and the 'FileReferenceNumber' should be for 'Test.txt'. For this, I have made CreateFile() for the '\\.\D:' location. Am I do anything wrong.
5. Shall I use fsutil for my purpose.

Could any one please clarify my queries and point me in a correct direction. Also, if possible, please poing me a releveant help document or URL to further proceed.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Asharudeen.

how to get 2 different DLLs with same name to work together?

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:27:41 -0700

Problem: I have an old game, that has two EXE's. One for the game, one for the editor. The publisher no longer supports said game. The game works across all versions of Windows, however, the editor does not work in Vista or 7. One of the original game devs, as a favor to the players, produced a patched DLL file that makes the Editor work in Vista/7.

Difficulty: The game EXE no longer works after the dll file that makes the editor work is put into the directory.

Aside from the obvious solution, of putting the editor exe and the game exe in different directories with their correct DLLs (which could lead to DLL Hell, if you try to run them both at the same time) - is there any way to get the Editor EXE to work with the patched DLL, and the game EXE to work with the original DLL? I don't have a problem with renaming the new DLL, if I can hack the EXE to point to the new filename somehow or other.
