    Or just go to START and RUN and type %TMP% If the environment variables are setup correctly it will give you the Temp Directory. :) Regards, Venet. Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos.

If all the configuration settings are stored in the registry, it shouldn't be a problem (I have one copy of office for my 2k Pro and XP), however if any of the applications use other means of storing configuration data (such as .ini files) then application won't work.

    Well using C# I am not sure. I've seen C# and that is about it. In C++ using Win32 you would do something like this. SetServiceStatus(m_tSvcStatusHandle, &m_tSvcStatus); Do a search on MSDN for SetServiceStatus. SetServiceStatus[^] -- "The money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its rule by preying upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is concentrated in a few hands and the Republic destroyed." -- Abraham Lincoln

    If you are running sshd you should be able to secure ftp to your home directory. Some of the nicer windows ssh clients have sftp integrated. Matt Newman

    That would be a big help, especially if it highlights abnormal packets rather than the user having to wade through pages of log files. Need I say, "Hurry!"?:-D "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee..."

    Thanks - your link gave me an idea - look in local policies! Finally it works :-D Paul ;) I have been afraid always. When you see something insurmountable ahead of you, say to yourself: "All right! I am afraid. Now that I've been properly afraid, let's go forward." That is the whole secret. - Jeanne d'Arc

    If it's a Win32 game and the game doesn't provide the option, then you're most likely out of luck. Under Direct3D at least, dealing with rendering to a window has a number of peculiarities which are different from rendering fullscreen, so some games just don't support it. I suspect OpenGL is similar, but I don't have enough experience with OpenGL to really say if it's possible to have an external application force the game to render to a window. This is, of course, assuming you're referring to a 3D game... - Mike
