    I tried, didn't have any problems with main system drivers, but my audio drivers don't exist yet. VS.NET/SQL threw up. It's about the same as xp64, very few hardware/software options at this time. :sigh:

    If you are talking about controls in a dialog, then set the Default style on the button that you want to be trigged when Enter is pressed. The dialog manager will do the rest. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ Ford, what's this fish doing in my ear?

    It's the same as XP - add a manifest to your app so it uses version 6 of comctl32.dll. The OS theme will then be applied to the window's non-client area. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ Ford, what's this fish doing in my ear?

    Marc, This is just a guess, but I think your 1.1 apps will work fine. The incompatibility issues, as I understand it, have to do with the IDE. You may need to install VS 2005 with the special Vista service pack in order to further develop your 1.1 apps. VS 2003 will likely have problems (though I havn't tried it). As for the experience, I've enjoyed developing in the Vista/VS 2005 combo. I'm using a dual boot with XP, though, so I can go back and forth. In XP, I have VS 2003 and VS 2005 running side by side.

    Try this: (Note before you start you might want to back-up your registry as this requires an important registry key change .) 1.Click on start 2.Run 3.regedit , click ok 4.Registry editor opens 5.Find this key :HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment\HOMEPATH 6. the key should have the value address of the My Documents in it. For instance if your my documents folder is in C:\Documents and settings\admin then the key would have this address in it. 7. double click on the key and then put a \ and the address you want your my documents folder to be in. For example /C:\Documents and settings\admin would mean that your documents folder would be in this address C:\Documents and settings\admin Hope this helps!;) PS: Notice you can also change the main drive you use e.g change this key if you want to NOT RECOMMENDED THOUGH. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment\HOMEDRIVE

    AFAICT only EXEs can be pinned, sorry. (And MS purposely doesn't expose an API for the pin list, so pinning something else programmatically is out too.) --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ Ford, what's this fish doing in my ear?

    Virtualization is part of UAC. It means that an app that tries to write to a protected part of the file system (system32, Program Files, etc.) or the registry (HKLM) will have the write operation silently redirected to another part of the file system/registry so it can't muck up the machine-wide state. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!

    Make sure you have SP 6. I only get one compat warning about the IDE (which I ignore, and it works fine). I've never gotten any warnings about the individual EXEs. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ Ford, what's this fish doing in my ear?
