Sending data to DB should not be hard here since they support WSH in these scripts. Windows px would require a utillity to be installed that would provide this functionality. Windows NT you would have to write your own GINA library to manage the process of login and logoff. Not a trivial task.

    Try right clicking on it and playing with the security settings. Remove the read/execute rights for everyone by the admin group. That might work.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean :-O. Do you mean like creating a Dynamic DNS Url address that is binded with your external IP so others can connect to your webserver through the url address? :confused: Aidman ยป over and out

    Use the __try/__except statements, it's more flexible this way. Here's a sample from MSDN: // exceptions_try_except_Statement.cpp // compile with: /EHsc // Example of try-except and try-finally statements #include "stdio.h" void main() { int* p = 0x00000000; // pointer to NULL puts("hello"); __try{ puts("in try"); __try{ puts("in try"); *p = 13; // causes an access violation exception; }__finally{ puts("in finally"); } }__except(puts("in filter"), 1){ puts("in except"); } puts("world"); } I see dumb people

    Create a group - "Rocks" perhaps - and put your users in it. Limit the permissions on the group to just those capabilities your test operators (we called them 'factory rocks' at General Dynamics, hence the group name) actually need. Give the group access to only those files and folders they need to use to run the tests. To control the desktop, you can use a mandatory profile. I haven't had a need to do this, so I can't give you the step-by-step instructions, but it sounds simple. For each user, a folder is created in Documents and Settings. Adding the extension .MAN to the folder makes everything in it mandatory. The user can still make changes while logged on, but the mandatory settings will be restored on the next logon. If you have a number of users accessing the same machine, this could get tedious, and it might be simpler to create one generic profile for all users, then simply supply the path to it in the User Account properties page in the Profiles tab. Better yet, take away their keyboards and rodents and supply them with a single "go" button.:-D "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)

    Use Ghost Explorer to find the SAM file in the image. I don't know if Ghost lets you extract files, but if so, pull it out and run l0phtcrack on it. --Mike-- When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not.
