Hi, I just learn something new from my teacher about lock the computer using the shortcut. The technique is create the schortcut from scratch then type the following command in the command textbox: rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation and the other technique to shutdown computer or restart computer. My question is: are there any document that will specify the argument of the command rundll32.exe user32.dll, for restart, shutdown, restart in MSDOS mode, restart in safe-mode, log off the user...? I want to do the above action but I don't how to do it because I don't know the argement that use to perform these above action.

Don't do that. Only call functions with rundll32 that were made to be called that way.
See this blog entry[^] and read the section "Rundll32.exe entry points"

I ran ad-aware on my system because my browser seemed to be crashing every once in a while for no apparent reason. Once the spyware was cleaned up all of the sudden the icons on my desktop were gone. What's up with that?
I went into the desktop folder in the windows explorer and they're all there, but they're not showing up on the desktop itself.
Any ideas?

Which operating system that you use? If you use windows xp or 2k make sure that you check in the correct profile. On the other hand, try to check the option of Ad-Aware application whether it is hide any object from the user. I used to run this program too but never have the problem like that. Try to restart your computer again.

It's winxp. I did a virus scan and restarted my computer several times. I'll check the ad-aware settings, but it seems to me they should know you wouldn't ever want your desktop items to be hidden.

XP has a setting to not show any icons on the desktop. To toggle it: Right-click the desktop->Arrange Icons By->Show Desktop Icons

Hi, I can create morphix boot linux CDROM[^] and I also can create boot windows CDROM using Bart PE[^]. And now I want to create a boot CDROM for linux Red hat and Suse. Does any one know any resource to do that??? Because I don't want to install it on my small hard disk drive.

you can download the SuSE 9.2 (i think it's out already) LiveCD off SuSE's website or ftp servers.

redhat is now deadrat... they don't have a community edition of redhat linux. what they did was to create a new distribution called fedora core which is largely community driven. you can find that at fedora.redhat.com. my personal experience of fedora has been that fc1 (fedora core 1) was very unstable, and fc2 is a lot more stable. the only problem with fedora is that it ships without support for mp3's, movies, etc. that's why something like suse (my favourite) or mandrake linux are better. and possbily easier to install and use...
but back to the subject of live cds, i don't think fedora has a live cd... you can check out their site and see if they do (and let me know if they do). mandrake i know has a live cd too (called mandrake move).

Thank you very much for your idea, I also found knoppix linux liveCD on the internet too. The reason that I need the live CD because I want to study linux without install it on my machine because i have a small hard disk drive. Hope that red hat will have liveCD in the future.

i couldn't understand the exact difference btwn swapping and overlays, both seem to be doing the same task, can u elaborate further,....somehow according to me overlays swaps the entire process whereas swapping swaps only part of a program, is this right?

Overlays work under application control, but swapping is done by the OS.

Hi everyone,
Im running a service control program that specifically pauses and resumes services at a particular time of day. This program has been implemented with a kill function that calls the "kill.exe" to kill a service if it has not reached a specific state within a specified time. This program is run as part of a scheduled task.
I've noticed that the kill does not seem to be going through when it is run as a schedule task, however if I log on and run the task manually it works just fine and the kill is implemented if need be.
So I guess my question is this, is there an issue with win 2k3 not being able to execute a kill command unless a user is logged on? If this is the problem is there anyway around it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Try to use AT command[^] instead of task schedule.

Thanks for the info but still doesnt seem to work. Its weird cause when the pause and resuming of services works then there is no problem. Its only an issue if the service takes too long to reach the desired state that the issues arise.
The way ive coded it tells the app to kill the service if it has not reached the desired state within a specified amount of time. Running the app on various other machines works fine and even works fine when running the app manually on the win 2k3 box. Its only when it runs as a batch process do the issues arise. Any other ideas?

Can you tell me, what is the command that you use to start/stop/pause the service? Net start/stop or Sc query command?

If it is possible, could you post some piece of your code on this forum?

"Can you tell me, what is the command that you use to start/stop/pause the service? Net start/stop or Sc query command?"
- I've written my own start/stop/pause resume command. This was primarily based on the article and code from http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0298/service.aspx[^]
The "kill" function is just a call to the "kill.exe" NT resource utility and is activated by a simple if statement specifying a timeout period.

have you checked what user the schedule runs as, and if that user has permissions to run the kill command?

If you whant to dirctly call the kill command
use system("kill blahblahbla"); command.
|
|
|
|
|
Well you could use signals from the
signal.h that will mean
manule sending a sig.
And I think the kill command
is a admin only command I think.
You could trie to some how create
your own kill function by scratch whitch
will take more time.
