robocopy ended up doing the job for me. Took a little while going through all the different command line switches that are available. Doing a robocopy c: f:\MyBook\Desktop /s: 0 /w: 0 /mir was what I needed. essentailly it was a mirror copy with 0 retries and 0 seconds of waiting between reties.

Thanks for the reply. Nothing happens with the search. I type a keyword, press enter, and it does nothing. IE Version is IE7 on the Vissta Ultimate (64 bit) box. Tried both IE7 and upgrading to IE8 Beta on the previous Vista Home Premium (32 bit) box, but that didn't fix the problem. Visual Studio 2005 w/ SP1 and SP1 for Vista.

Disabling Task Manager won't disable CTRL ALT DEL under Vista. Even systemwide hooks dont work. And to change the regkeys, rightclick on regedit.exe and "Run as Administrator".

Whatever, I havent been able to find anything in the last week and now I accidentaly find this article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista-security/VistaSessions.aspx[^].

"I am trying to develop Win logOn Notification for Vista. My RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx() successfully set my HandelrEx() function however I am not able to receive Lock, Logon and logoff events. Moreover as suggested I am also calling SetServiceStatus() with SERVICE_ACCEPT_SESSIONCHANGE in the dwControlsAccepted field of the SEVICE_STATUS struct. The only notification I am getting at the moment in my HandlerEx() fuction is SERVICE_STOPPED." I am using C++ with a generated code using VS2005 of Win32Service, so I call RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx() and SetServiceStatus() from within OnStart(). Thanks in advance for your help, Moshe

Hi Perspx, I managed to get MSHelp working on the Vista Machine. I reinstalled Visual Studio 2005 SDK on the machine and everything worked like charm. However this is very surprising that there has been no articles or any help anywhere on the web for the same. Perspx I appreciate your help and thank you very much for sharing your opinions. Hope this will help others in getting similar issues resolved :) Vinay ComponentOne LLC. www.componentone.com

Hi, I guess an elevated process can create EnvVars, but then it will have some trouble launching new non-elevated processes. IIRC there have been some CP articles on that topic lately. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Voting for dummies? No thanks. X|

Well you could write a program to insert data into the registry with the required input and output scan codes? Or if you don't want to do that get it to output a .reg file and run that - I created an app like that and it was very useful :) And in response to your second question, I believe that if you kill explorer.exe with the Task Manager and then restart it (using File->Create process), it reloads some registry values (however I'm not sure if scan codes are included in the registry data that is reloaded).

Look for a ~WINDOWS.Q folder in C:\ or the drive XP was installed on. If it's there, there should be and option in Programs and Features control panel. If it's not there, boot a Linux LiveCD instead of using format.com and use the distro's disk manager to format it (as Fat32) , then install XP. "What's everyone so worked up about?
