Sorry for not letting you go here... 
Thought PF Usage (Page File) refers to total memory allocated to swap file - now, what do I need to know about PF usage if it's "CPU Usage" and "Physical Memory \ Available" which determines if your box would start behaving like a snail?
Anyway, I was thinking, so long my "Physical Memory \ Available" (perfmon.exe) consistently hovers ABOVE ZERO it means my machine has "spare" memory - that memory is consistently "available" to application processes. Same can be said for CPU Usage - that if it doesn't go 100% consistently, then you have spare CPU cycles to burn. But, apparently with:
1. CPU Usage hovers around 10% consistently
2. Physical Memory:
a. Total 1GB
b. Available: hovers around 500 MB (stable)
c. System: hovers around 500 MB (stable)
Why's my box so slow at times when CPU Usage and Physical Memory both looks okay?
I also use "perfmon" to check Memory: Page/Sec counter. It seems like every time I type something in Visual Studio code file Visual Studio is sucking up a lot of juice:
a. "Memory: Page/Sec" rises from zero to 10/sec
b. CPU usage on Task Manager go up to to 50% to almost 100%, then immediately drops back down.

I have a network bootable CD that silently ghosts a systems and then reboots to windows. I need to have the same CD execute once the user logs into windows. I do not want the user to have to run the CD-ROM manually. I can not modify the ghost image, b/c there are too many of them. I've been working with the autorun.inf file but that only works when the CD is inserted into the CD Drive.
Is there anyway to autorun the CD in the CD-ROM drive whenever a user logs onto a system without modifying the hard drive ( because the systems are often ghosted and anything on the hard drive is deleted )?
|

The only potential solution i can think of is to add the exe to the startup folder on the hard drive after the system has completed ghosting but before the system reboots to windows.
How do I gain access to the hard drive and add a file to the startup folder, without user interaction?

Hi
adding an exe to the startup is quite simple:
in registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHIN (if user has administrative privillages) or "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" ,
add a string value:
The key name could be anything but the value should be the local path of the executable file on hard drive (or even CD drive!)
The executable file would run at each log on!

I know the Mutex and Semaphore usage in any OS. but not sure of Recursive Mutex and Semaphore.
If anybody guide me for this it will be of great help.

Hi, in windows explorer we could see the drive (floopy drive, CDROM drive, mapped drive, harddrive). But I want to list all of the drive that my computer have in MS-DOS command prompt. Is it possible to do that? If yes, what is the command to list those drive in the command prompt?

As far as I know, there isn't a built-in command to do it, but it's relatively easy to do using WMI via scripting, or using the Win32 API.

Thank you very much for your information. But the command just list only the mapped network drive. And how about the removeable drive and the system partition drive in my computer? How could I list it?

By using some scripting or some simple SDK C/C++ code; but you'd have to write something.

If you have WMI installed, you can create a VBS file that contains this;
<------------cut here-------------->
function driveType(x)
if (x = 0) then
driveType = "Unknown"
elseif x = 1 then
driveType = "No root"
elseif x = 2 then
driveType = "Removable(flash/floppy)"
elseif x = 3 then
driveType = "HDD"
elseif x = 4 then
driveType = "Network drive"
elseif x = 5 then
driveType = "DVD/CD"
elseif x = 6 then
driveType = "RAM disk"
end if
end function
strComputer = "."
set wbemSvc = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer)
set wbemSet = wbemSvc.InstancesOf("Win32_LogicalDisk")
for each wbemObject in wbemSet
wscript.echo wbemObject.Name & " " & driveType(wbemObject.DriveType)
next
<---------------- cut here--------->
save it as say, driveL.VBS, then create a CMD file that contains
CSCRIPT /NOLOGO driveL.VBS
and run your cmd file. Should give you something like this;
A: Removable(flash/floppy)
C: HDD
D: HDD
E: DVD/CD
G: Removable(flash/floppy)
X: Network drive
although obviously, your drives may vary 
Checkout the Win32_LogicalDisk docs in MSDN, and you can see how it all works. Not a huge amount of work to extend it to display things like network paths, but I left you something to do - I'm supposed to be looking for paid work ATM, after all !!

Thank you very much for your valuable answer. Now it is working. Can you give me the resource that you post me the answer? It is easy for me to learn in the future and customize the code as I need.

Most of the information comes straight from the MSDN library. The WMI stuff is explained (kind of  ) in there in various places, but the "Scripting Clinic" is a good place to start. If you don't have the MSDN library on CD, use the online version[^] as a starting point.
WMI is easy to use from VBScript, much easier than in C++, although that's my preferred option

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up a telnet server for our internal use on a Windows 2003 Server, and can't make it work. I have enabled and started the Telnet service, as well as the Secondary Logon service, both are running, the user account in question is a member of Telnet Clients group.
But it still doesn't work unless the user is also a member of the Administrators group (Power Users membership won't help). I've read somewhere that the user must also be allowed to log on locally, so I have added this particular user to the list of those allowed to log on locally, but still it doesn't work unless the user account is a member of Administrator.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rado

So the server works fine, you are having a permissions problem with a certain user then correct?

I am currently trying to learn assembl. I haven't started yet, nor written one lien of it. I know how both a processor and memory works, an I want to write in that language. Is assembly that language. A processor only has about 16 commands, I want to write in that language, and not need an OS. Of course the OS to test and to program is almost impossible to be without, but how do I do it.
Thanks for any help given.

Are you talking about Intel/AMD processors or something simpler, like PIC chips?
I've written assembler routines for both, and the PIC is much simpler to learn, there are fewer instructions, although of course you need a PC of some sort to program the PICs.
