Suddenly i have discovered that menu option "New ATL Object..." is lost in my Visual Studio. What's happend? how it can be repaired? help, plz!

What does InsertItem() return? suggestions: 1. you don't need invoke GetBuffer(0). you can use just Lock() and UnLock(). 2. Clear COMBOBOXEXITEM before using by ZeroMemory(). 3. set cchTextMax in COMBOBOXEXITEM

Some rules i observe: 1. icon consists of no more then 3 objects 2. there is one main object 3. use standard icons for standard actions (cut, copy, paste, etc) and common consideration: use standard colors (red - emergancy, error, caution; green - success) but i, personally, do not draw icon. i prefer that designer do it

do it via Add-Remove Programs

I think VirtualQueryEx()

hide it: ::ShowWindow( hwnd, SW_HIDE ); show it: ::ShowWindow( hwnd, SW_SHOW );

There is no. It's better way to invoke standard Open Dialog by GetOpenFileName().

set in GetResultViewType(): *pViewOptions |= MMC_VIEW_OPTIONS_EXCLUDE_SCOPE_ITEMS_FROM_LIST;

It's true. If memory size is plenty large then you can see it in Task Manager

Go to Tools->Options->Directories page, add ?:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT PLATFORM SDK\INCLUDE path to directories list and move it to the top of the list.

just set lpSubKey to NULL: RegQueryValueEx(hKey, NULL, 0, &type, (unsigned char*)buf, &bufsize)

that's right code. And what is happend then? (Note that lpVerb can be setted to NULL too )

When I do that my program works very fast too :))) ..And why you suppose it works slowly? Most of Registry is cached in memory therefore it's just memory copying. But if you don't believe me, run Regmon and see for yourself

it works only for Windows 95/98/Me

There is no such way. Regedit at first creates new key, copies all subkeys, and then deletes old key.

Set NULL. To know current dir - invoke GetModuleFileName()
