Hi everyone. I have a couple of questions in regards to the windows registry settings. Hopefully, someone here will be able to solve my puzzle :-) Objectives: I have a workstation running Windows XP SP1. The workstation is a part of the domain and users authenticate against AD. I need to configure (for whatever reason) 1 local account to startup with no shell. My Actions: 1) In order to configure a single account to run with no shell I make the following changes to the system registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell = "explorer.exe" HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\system.ini\boot\shell="USR:Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell = "" HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\PersistBrowsers = 0 Results: The registry changes above indeed made that particular user accout start up with no shell, however during initial startup explorer window (just a file browser) still comes up. My question is how to get read of this window. I did check Startup Folder, RunOnce, Run, RunOnce and RunOnceEx - nothing that could start explorer. Where else should I check? Thanks for going through the entire post! :-) I hope I was able to make myself clear, and I am really looking forward to getting some expert advice here. Thanks a lot.

Hi everybody! 1. I have a pointer to IHTMLDocument, displayed in IE. 2. HTML Document contains scripts 3. How can I order execution of certain jscript functions in that document? Thanks for you help.

The thing here is that this is not just any VML document. The user is going to be creating a site plan (sort of the iteractive map) for the security system. As he creates it, he will be adding some predefined objects to it (such as buildings, hallways, rooms, doors etc.) and will have ability to add some misc graphics to it just to make it look pretty. I know how to write my own little graphics editor for that purpose. Also I figured that since there is thing like IWebBrowser control and MSHTML available, I could use it's editing capabilities and it's rederer (which, by the way, displays VML fine) to do the most of the work. After looking in MSDN I was under the impression that I could extend the editor's capabilities by providing my own implementations of several interfaces ( IHTMLEditHost, IHTMLEditDesigner and IHTMLElementBehaviour, is there anything else(?)). Since Microsoft was not very clear on the purpose of those interfaces and none of the samples they had fully worked, I was wondering if going this way would get me where I want to be and if it would worth the effort. Also you keep talking about automating the office application even after I mentioned that there is a good chance that the proper version of the office will not be installed on the client. Am I missing something here and I do not have to ship a copy of the Front Page with every installation? Thanks for you help.

.S.Rod. wrote: From an outside app, Office automation looks shiny... Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly automation won't do in this case. There is a big chance that MS Office (or required version of it) will not be installed on the target machine. In addition I need much more advanced control over HOW the user edits the document than the automation can offer. Thanks again.

If I am not mistaken then you should be able to get away with MoveFile, MoveFileEx or MoveFileWithProgress. Good Luck.

Hi, everybody! I am working on application where I need to provide some VML editing capabilities. I am pretty sure that MSHTML should serve me well here. Also while it provides a pretty easy way of designing HTML it lacks the VML editing capabilities. Right now I am looking into the IHTMLEditDesigner and IHTMLEditHost interfaces and wondering if I am on the right track. Since I have not worked with MSHTML before I would greatly appreciate if somebody could give me a push in the right direction. Thank you.

Hi, everybody. I am trying to find an IEEE-428 specification on the WEB and I was out of luck so far. If anybody knows about such resource, please let me know. Thanks.
