Thanks for the reply. Do you know how it applies the new settings? It would be nice to find out if there's a parameters like (rundll32.exe User32.dll,UpdateSystemPerUserParameters)? I've written an application that checks and sets nearly all the settings in the HKCU\Control Panel\Colors but...

Hi, I'm wanting to find out what happens when you select the APPLY button within Desktop>Appearance? I've tried Regmon, Filemon, process explorer and WinSpy and cannot find what class Windows would call? Any ideas?

I'm currently doing my 70-290 exam and failed it twice. I've got the core requirements Microsoft pack but this does not cover the entire exam. My boss is ready to buy another book for me but I dont know what book to choose? Thanks

OK. This is what I want. Using Windows 2000 > WinXP you can right click a file, select the summary tab and here you have Title, Author and other kinds of information. I know how to execute the above but I want to extract the title, author, version and other information from the file. You...

I was talking to another programmer who said to change the apperance to Windows Classic and back to Windows XP style. I did this and now works fine. I believe it's the way that XP shows images on forms??

Hi paul, let me help you on both issues. If you can send me your email addresss, I will email the required files. Also what version of Windows are you using. If it's windows 2003 server, you will need to add a registry key for redirection...

Hi Guys and Gals. I'm trying to reproduce an 10061 socket error, has anyone got any ideas on how to do this?

Yeah ascotta, the kix script I wrote was for networking printers. In my last job we had around 25 - 30 networked printers in district offices and when we use citrix to print the files, we had massive issues. There was a period where some people would find various ways of network printing...

Here's an interesting one. If you let Citrix Map a client drive, right click and select properties. Here is shows the file system as FAT and no security settings.. Intersting.

I'am also being told that Citrix uses Fat for Permissions not NTFS. Can you tell me if this is the case. I really need to find this out.

Basically, YES. Here is how it works (sorry if I bore you!!) 1. Runs a little application to get the "Clients" physical IP Address, not the Citrix server IP. 2. It then scans a list of IP's that you list, when found a match will assign a printer to that local IP. So if you have a printer in...

Here's a tip for you. Dont use Citrix for printing. It's crap and doesn't work. Are you using KIX for your login script. If so, I could pass you a kix script that I wrote which allows a user to print to there local printer, no matter where Geographically where they are sat, it will still...

Hi Guys, I've been told that Citrix uses FAT32 for Client Network Drives. Can you tell me if this is the case or can it use NTFS?
