How does Windows (XP Pro SP2) display the information that appears in the Notification Area? Is it in a folder, a Registry key? Where??

Hi, I made the HUGE mistake of lending my 100GB hard drive to a friend. He had trouble booting from it, and he went ahead and "helped" me out by installing a fresh copy of W2K over my installation. Now I have lost everything -- all the programs I paid for, all my data, everything! Is there ANY...

Hi, I'm not an assembly language programmer at all, but this question (I think) relates to it. I had just created a document in MS-WORD 2002 (quite a long document, too) and a friend of mine was reading it. He closed MS-WORD without saving so I lost everything I had written. My question is...

Hi everyone, I'm a maintenance technician and I have to keep track of hundreds of parts for the machines I work on. I have 4 cabinets that can hold around 125 plastic bins in which the parts are stored. I created a table in HTML using overLib (available at www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/) so that...

Hi, Thanks for the responses. You are all correct, of course: if it's working now, then why mess with it? There are a few problems that made me think of centralized control of the computers: 1. The machine operators are minimum-wage employees and have zero computer training and knowledge. Most...

Hi, I'm a Maintenance Technician working in a mail presorting facility. They have 12 sorting machines that have an average of 3 computers each, two of them having 7 computers. I keep looking at all those computers and wonder if it has been a waste of the company's money. Here's how a sorting...

VERY interesting information, dilettante, thank you. Can HTAs interface with hardware? For instance, can I access hard drives, printers, etc. with it? Can I create files (text files, really) with it? It does sound very interesting and I will look into anway. I am also concerned about exposing...

What I have been asked to write in the past (and I don't see that really changing in the future) are things like help files, employee warning generator programs, programs that read other files and compile (or rather, collate) all the information and write the result to another file, etc. No...

I have been writing programs using QuickBasic at work for the past 2 or 3 years and was recently informed that they are going to do away with their DOS-based computers and replacing them with NT systems. 1) Will my QB programs work in the NT system? 2) Can I create QB programs to run on the NT...

Great! Thanks! I downloaded all of them. Issue #9 was there too, but it wasn't a very long one. Long live QB! :o)

Awww...too bad! Is there no one else who has QB on Acid?

That's a great idea! I think I'll do that too. QB on Acid?? I'll write Dave first thing in the morning! heh heh

Thanks Barok! I'm downloading the mags right now!

Could you please send me the qb mags too? Thanks!

wow thank you for that reference, logiclrd. I will print it out and use it as a reference. Of course, using it will be a whole different matter. Thanks again, Vic
