• Sonic1981 How to CreateProcess NOT as administrator

  One of our modules is an executable that will always be run as administrator (after getting permission from user). One of its screens allows the user to run a different executable, which the code currently does by CreateProcess. The problem is that since the first process is running as admin, CreateProcess has the second process run as admin also. This is undesirable because it is a security breach (the second process can open browse dialogs tha ...Show All

• kostyamy Creating Vista-like applications .. Which SDK/API to use?

  This maybe a silly question, but what API/SDK do I use to create Vista-like applications I mean following the Vista UX style guidelines; creating the open/save dialogs like we have in Vista, changing the look/feel of various controls, etc. I know for sure WinFX is not the one...since this is not a platform SDK. There's a platform SDK( Longhorn Beta 1) on MSDN, but it just looks like a regular sdk (nothing special). A easy example is how do I g ...Show All

• IMileti Cannot add workflow into folder

  When I create a folder under a project , and try to add the flow under it, if I click "add-->sequential workflow",VS2005 always add the item under the project root and namespace doesn't contain the folder name.

• Falken A new outlook on Windows Vista

  Hi! I am fascinated by the way in which Microsoft plans to change the nature of operating systems radically. Vista promises a better future -- lots of new data exchange solutions, better information organization and an easier GUI. It looks very exciting to me. However, there is still some doubt whether Vista will really be able to define the new wave of technology. I've been a user of Windows for the past 9 years, and have been accustomed t ...Show All
