I am trying to make a Web Server as a NT Service, but for some reason it doesn't work, Do I need to be logged into a special account? I am using XP Home, I tried logging the service in as NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService but it asks me for a password.[EDIT]I was able to type in my user account password but when i tried to start it it game me the following error:
Could not start the [ServiceName] service on Local Computer
Error 5: Access is denied
What does that mean? And what should I do?[/EDIT]
Thanks if you can help

Create a new service account with permissions appropriate to what your program needs to access, assign it a password, then run it as that user.

I tried doing that but it just gives me Access Denied.

For NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService, delete everything in the password box, and it should go.
To let it run under a user account, you need to give the account permissions to log on as a service: Administrative Tools → Local Security Settings → User Rights Assignment → Log on as a Service

I found out my permissions problem was where the files were located. They were in a private folder. Thanks for the help though

I just noticed that I have two copies of the Java 2 runtime console sitting in the system tray. I know it loads at startup, but it normally shows only one icon. I think the second showed up today, as I don't recall seeing it yesterday. The only new apps I've opened today are InterDev and a Sonork conference. It hasn't been booted in a couple of weeks. Has anyone got any idea what might have invoked the second instance?
|
|
|
|
|
It just got weirder. Yesterday the second instance disappeared on its own. This morning, both are gone.

Havwe you installed something like Opera 6 with Java 1.3, and then something else with Java 1.4. I had that and ity messed things up badly. Had multiple copies in the Control Panel, but were different versions.
|
|
|
|
|
While both were displayed, I checked the properties of each. Same version. As far as I know, I haven't got any Java-based apps running. The only thing I've loaded in a while is the Sonork client and the CodeProject search bar. 'tis a mystery

This just keeps getting more curious! I did further checking on the Java thing, and discovered that it contained a log file. The log indicated that a record had been sent to www.redsheriff.com, a marketing intelligence company. I emailed them and requested information to allow me to trace who/what installed this junk on my system, and instructions on how to remove it. They sent me back instructions for editing my HOSTS file to redirect all of the program's output to my own server, instead!!!
I want to execute someone A pity it's not allowed, but this is blatant theft of my property!

Does Anybady know how to start IExplore in _seperate_ process
on Win XP ??
When I start IExplore.exe on W2000 e.g 5 times i get 5 distinct
processes.
On XP Zero, and moreover all the five windows are running as threads
in explorer.exe process.
Why do I want distinct process ?
- better fault tolerance (one process crash doesn't involve the others)
- better priority management ( when some browser window loads an ActiveX
or java that extensively computes sth. (or at least uses a lot of CPU)
I can decrease priority of the corresponding process , and the
other windows work fine.
Now, under XP I cannot of cource set priority per thread (from
Task manager, and the only thing I can do then is to kill explorer.exe
process... what is not a good solution.
So the question Is:
How to start IExplore under Win XP in _distinct_ process.
(E.g Let every browser have it's own process)
Thanx for answer

I think this did it for me.
Open up My Computer, click Tools then choose Folder Options, on the view tab enable "launch folder windows in a separate process".

Hi, i'm trying to install the newest MSDN CD's to a computer that has Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise Edition - which has it's own MSDN cd's in MSDN Subscription, and when i update it, and hit F1, it doesnt open up the newest MSDN, it opens up the old one!!! How do I fix it? I even tried to uninstall VSEE and reinstall it, and then install msdn when it asked for it, but it's looking for the Cd's that came with the subscription! I am screwed. How can I "unscrew" myself? I tried looking through the registry a little bit... any ideas?

There is an option in the configuration of Visual Studio. I'm not at my home PC at the moment so I can't tell you exactly where the option is but it's under either Configuration or Options in VC++ [probably the same in VB etc].. then there is a sectiopn to set the active help location. 
Now taking suggestionsfor a new sig. please email me all suggestions.

For BD since im not at work.
Tools -> options -> help system tab. You will have to scroll the tabs as it is cut off. Then change prefered collection.

It seems like it'll work, but i had reinstalled VS Enterprise Edition w/o MSDN, so i just installed the msdn 6.0a that comes with the subscription, but i had already installed Jan 2002, so i'm uninstalling that, and reinstalling it now... but that doesnt work. It doesnt show up in the list to choose which version of MSDN that i would like to use...
Hmm... suuuuuuper strange.

But i'm gonna do some more searching in the registry... i think all i searched for before was "MSDN" so i'm gonna look through "VS" and "Visual Studio" searches... *SIGH*

and to no avail... I cant even see what executable the shortcut is calling to try and do some funky hack job in the registry! and just so you know i've installed msdn onto my computer from our dev server, so when i run anything from MSDN (samples, etc) it accesses the file from the server, but i still dont know what the executable is...
i believe the old one is just using "hh.exe" and then the path of the collection (*.col) right after.. but 2002 has a bit of a change (file types, etc) and i cannot find the executable... any suggestions are invaluable, but i'm moving on, i'm not fooling with it unless you guys have a suggestion... *sigh*
i'm gonna try to contact microsoft, i checked their site, there was some things that were close, but not good enough, (mostly bugs in installing msdn w/ DVD)
thanks guy(s?) for your help, i appreciate it immensely!!

Are you trying to install Jan 2002 MSDN with Version 6 of Visual Studio? If so they aren't compatible. MSDN Jan 2002 only works with Visual Studio.NET. The last version of MSDN to work with VS6 was October 2001.

Hello,
I am wondering how it is possible to create a file on the System that can be accessed by some file API's, but yet it is not a hidden or System file. I use CrypKey for protecting software products and know that the product works by creating a foot print on a physical disk that indicates that at some time, a product was installed. I can look at a file monitor and see a particular file being opened, but it is not viewable as either hidden or System.
Any thoughts here would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,

I'm not sure, but I found one today while deleting all of my files on the ol' work PC that had an icon, but no filename! If you could duplicate that, then create a program icon that was all white and transparent, you'd be in!
