    http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/winexec\_control.asp Good to have an article up finally, even if the topic is a bit on the side of microsoft bashing, none the less I feel it's a reasonable gripe. Read for details. Replies appreciated. Can you imagine Darth Maul on speed?

        Thanks a ton. Feels nice to be on the board. No pun intended. Can you imagine Darth Maul on speed?

          This is not the place for MS bashing (and yes it is bashing, especially your closing paragraph). You'll be welcomed on /. though. --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm

              Last time I tried on Linux it didn't work (this was a couple of years back)

              while(1) fork();

              Something I tried in Java once...

              while(true) { new Thread().start() };

              Basically the garbage collector is fighting it out with your code. (hmm, must try this in .NET) Lets just say the garbage collector lost :-)

                That reminds me of the time that me and a group of mates were bored, so decided to create the most system hogging program we could. My solltion contually re-spawed copies of itself, whilst opening and closing a file (linux seems to boost the priority of apps that are doing file i/o), and performing an assortment of integer and float maths. Needless to say this would utterly freeze up a machine in a tiny fraction of a second :-D -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
