• MrBones How to start process in session before user logs on?

  I have a need to start a process in a session before the user logons on. On XP I used a Windows Logon Notification Package to do this. When a new session was created, Winlogon.exe in that new session called my WLNP and it was able to start the process before the user logged on. The process is used to support smart card logons for that session. I'm trying to find out how to do something similar on Vista. I know logon notification packages are no longer supported. I know how to write a service to get session creation notification, but I don't know how to start a process in the new session before the user logs on. Is there a function I can use to start a process in another session If so, I could have my session tracking sevice start th ...Show All

• SanthaMind How are tokens w/o mandatory integrity SID treated?

  I have a question related to Mandatory Integrity Control (MIC). Usually all user tokens contain an additional SID in the groups list, which is one of the MIC SIDs (S-1-64-x) denoting the integrity level. Tests under RC2 (Build 5744) with tokens missing the MIC SID don't show any special behaviour. A process running with an administrator's token w/o MIC SID seems to have all permissions which an administrator usually has. In terms of MIC the result looks like the token is treated as having "high" integrity (S-1-64-12288). The question is this: What happens in the kernel, if the token does not contain one of these MIC SIDs How is that token treated Does it automatically belong to one ...Show All

• ftamminga text justification

  I am looking to justify text, left justified, right, centred etc. Do i use css, can i use css I need to put x and y of text and do the justification Rg nooneimportant is correct -- it would take a lot of code. WPF/E doesn't have text justification. Right justification could be done by using the new ActualWidth properties on TextBlock. -mark Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is" You could write a bit of code to implement left/right/center alignment in WPE/e. You would need to write a good deal more code to implement justify, but it can be done. (I did write code like that a looong time ago). If your text is pretty static, then yo ...Show All

• Kobi Reiter How to draw window system buttons?

  I am trying to draw the standard window system buttons (Minimize, Maximize and Close) but have no luck in drawing them to look like the ones you see in top right corner on Vista. I am creating custom form so I need those. I tried using Theme API but that does not get my anywhere... Question is how to draw Vista style system buttons BUMP, anyone can provide more information I assume that one need to use DWM API's and can't believe that this has not been exposed.

• salafa Verifying user's password

  During my install I prompt the user for their username and password. I then try to verify this, but it requires elevated priviledges. The documentation says to add the msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate flag to custom actions, but this flag only works on deferred actions. Does anyone know of another way that I can verify the users password Thanks, Anthony Would the NetworkService account meet your requirements (NetworkService authenticates on the network as the computer account.) Several issues come to mind with using the interactive user's account in the service context: Having to update the service config when the user's password changes (again requiring elevated permi ...Show All

• PublicError How to cancel/ignore an event

  So here is my scenario: I have a workflow published as a web service. This workflow sends out e-mails and processes incoming e-mails. Currently, I have my mail functionality implemented in a local service, and it works fine. The only problem is when the worker process is recycled, the mail service stops polling for mail, at least until the next web service requests restarts the web application. What I'm thinking of doing is moving the mail polling functionality into a separate Windows service or scheduled task. I figured I could have this separate service send a web service notification to the workflow instance when an e-mail is received. Here's the problem: There's no correlation token with web services, and just because the ...Show All

• Kamarey Help with permissions in Vista

  Hi, I'm relatively new to .NET and am developing an Application for Windows Vista. I'm running into a couple of issues with the Application when it's trying to do 2 things - Copy a file, or Set a Registry Key Value. When I'm running VS2005 both these 2 functions work no problem, but I would assume that this is because I run VS2005 as an Administrator. My Application won't be able to run as an Administrator I don't think, because I will be running the Application from boot up as a shell. For the file copy, I'm using a straightforward File.Copy, e.g.: Dim strPathFrom As String = "C:\FolderName\Filename.txt" Dim strPathTo As String = "C:\Filename.txt" File.Copy(strPathFrom, strPathTo, True) This raises the ...Show All
