Windows API

Thanks~ my target is that check the user's credential who want to use my Application. so i found i needed to know what the PWD is. i only want to check if they are match. so i found a API function LogonUser(). it's work! --------------------------------------------------------------- btw: i have see the MSDN about LogonUser(): In Windows 2000, the process calling LogonUser requires the SE_TCB_NAME privilege. The privilege does not need to be enabled. The LogonUser function enables the privilege as necessary. If the calling process does not have this privilege, LogonUser fails and GetLastError returns ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD. Beginning with Whistler, this privilege is no longer required. i want to know how to set the SE_TCB_NAME privilege under Windows2000.:)

Unfortunately it didn't fix the resizing problem in Vista. I went and looked that symbol up and tried a few different variations on the approach but nothing seems to fix it. I appreciate the information nonetheless. Thanks for responding.

Wow! I read it, but do I undertand it? Fat chance! Not to mention that I'm still in the dark ages and still don't have Vista yet. I need to adapt EasyInstaller[^] to be able to perform installs on Vista. Can anybody explain this in terms that a simple-minded, burned-out hobbyist can understand? I would greatly appreciate assistance on this. Thanks in advance.

Please refer this[^]. Regards, Paresh.

Replace your call to GetWindowsDirectory() with a call to SHGetFolderPath(). Pick the appropriate flags such as CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA | CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE, etc. to fine tune which of the user's paths you want.

Didn't work either :S I don't know what else to do. If I open the controller app first, my BHO cant communicate. Worst of all, when I use setsecurityinfo, I get no errors. And my app works, because if I turn off protected mode or open IE before my controller app it works fine. A lot of BHO developers are asking their clients to turn off protected mode in order to use their soft, I think I'll need to do the same :( -- modified at 9:42 Monday 30th April, 2007 I FIXED IT!! Thanks mate, using SE_KERNEL_OBJECT and don't allowing the BHO dll to init if is in the controller app address space it started to work :D

as far as i knw, it will not appear unless and untill MS SQL Server 2005 is installed on the same machine!

Ditch Vista switch back to XP :laugh: You might be able to get/make a program that will add those commands to Vista.
