By what method do system draw mouse cursor,too? please tell me...

    Try typing in the domain name at login, your going to need access to an account that can add a computer to a domain but this might work, and it might also switch you from your home domain to work. I agree that MS should do something to allow multiple network/etc configurations.

    It's still a web site. You simply cannot stop a determined individual from writing their own HTTP client (very easy with the WinInet library). Or there's always telnet: telnet www.codeproject.com 80 GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.codeproject.com and the server starts spewing HTML at you.

    To see what it is doing, in a "DOS" box type the following tasklist /SVC tasklist /FI "PID eq processID" For some help tasklist /? this may help you to track down which process is at "fault" Hell, there are no rules here-- we're trying to accomplish something. - Thomas A. Edison

    when you set a group of computers in a workgroup, you can access the shared resources of each computer from any other computer on the same workgroup. you can give access to the files and resources unrestricted over the workgroup or can give it with password. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prcf\_omn\_wrta.asp http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/troubleshooting/w2k/ls/082301.asp this link is for windows2000, but the procedure for XP would be similar. try to find more on microsoft website.

    I am not sure what could be the reason for message "there is no driver restore point", but I know that windows XP automatically creats restore point whenever you install something. in your case it could have been switched off by mistake or some other reason. you can also check for the restore points yourself. goto Start->Programms->Accessories->System Tools-> System restore. you can check here whether the system restore is on or off and if it's on whether it has generated the restore point before the installation of the driver. did you have any previous version of the driver you are trying to install?

    Well, I found what the problem was, I created the partition using a Win98 boot disk through FDISK, I guess when this is done the OS gets a little confused between FAT32 and NTFS file system format. The problem was taken care of by booting from the CD and formatting with the util built into the WinXP build. Thanks All for your helpful replies. Tony

    Read Inside Windows 2000 by David Solomon and Mark Russinovich (MS Press). For CreateFile (there is no OpenFile), the entry point in kernel32.dll converts the file name into an absolute path suitable for the object manager, converts the other parameters as appropriate, then calls NtCreateFile in ntdll.dll. This is a fairly simple routine which executes software interrupt 0x2e (Windows 2000) or uses the SYSENTER instruction (Windows XP) to change to kernel mode and execute the kernel mode NtCreateFile routine. From there, the object manager (an Executive component) is used to locate the device object corresponding to the file system, whose Parse function is called to process the rest of the path. You probably want to write a file system filter driver: a driver that sits above the file system and gets to see and manipulate I/O Request Packets destined for the file system. I think you need the Installable File System kit[^] for developing file system filter drivers.

    Control Panel-> Power-> Advanced tab. There should be a setting there that controls what the power key does. --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Ericahist updated (again) Sep 6!
