Windows API

It can be used if you are not using any new APIs introduced in Vista. If you want to use the new Vista APIs you would first need to check the OS version using GetVersionEx and then dynamically load the APIs using LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress. «_Superman_»

It requires admin priviledge to work check last error code, it is failing with error code (requires priviledge)

I have a gadget article here at CP that might be helpful: clickety[^] But it's been so long since I wrote it that I forget if I used a separate gadget SDK or not. :doh: --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!

Boot from the Vista DVD and use the repair option. That will restore Vista's boot files. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!

You need to launch the process in with Admin credential using CreateProcessWithLogonW and pass admin credentials to its some of the parameters and the process you want to lauch in standard user account launch it with CreateProcess by passing standard user credentials.

Is any one please could hemp me? hi

This is my finally followup, and again I want to thank everyone who responded to my request for help. I haven't been able to meet up with the fellow who was having the problem yet, but in the meantime I realized I needed to have a "reference" Vista system around for just this type of issue, so I bought a fairly cheap Vista mini-tower at Office Depot last weekend. I finally had time today to test the project build out on the new machine today and guess what? It works just fine! So clearly the primary problem was that I was assuming it was a Vista related problem. It seems likely, at this point, that the fellow has a corrupted tee.exe file. We're meeting next week and should be able to get to the bottom of this. I'll report back, if anyone is interested in the final results. Thanks again for all your help. What a great bunch of folks here at CP! :cool: Dave QRZ? de WAØTTN

It is a very irritating problem, I had a really good article with a fix for this but I cannot access it at the moment, but google should be your friend. Try here: Folder View Settings[^] regards, Jonathan Wilkes Darka[Xanya.net] [My Code Project Articles]
