Hi all,
I surf the net on my desktop or my notebook (separately)via a gprs connection using my cell phone. currently i have connected my notebook to the net and am trying to connect my desktop as well, i.e i am trying for a parallel internet connection. I do not have a lan cable. i wanted to connect it using bluetooth.
I have turned on the bluetooth device. but it somehow does not detect the other device (i.e. notebook). There is some problem with the bluetooth PAN network setup. I am unable to look it up anywhere.
Any help would be appreciable. Thanks in advance.

I have developed a new gina dll and replaced msgina with my gina dll. I want to know if there is a way that I can lock this key in registry so that no one be able to change this key, in other words I want no one has the access to change this key value.
Thanks in advance.

Not entirely. You can set the access rights on the key using REGEDT32, but you will still leave the Administrators group as being able to make changes to the key.

There are alot of things that have to do with that in CMD, you might be thinking of net use[^] which maps network paths to drives, or maybe subst[^] which maps local directorys into new drives.
You can then create a bat/cmd file which executes upon each login, to map the users home drive to the right folder/server.
Dont forget about the variables in cmd, like %USERNAME%, they can all be listed with the command set

Im not sure if i understand exactly what you want, but like you can hide the main %windir% drives by changing some things in the registry. Then use permissions to deny root access. And then use the subst command to map a folder (which they have permission to) in the hidden drive.
And that should be it. or hu?

Greetings,
Is there a way to disable Windows' termination confirmation when a service "unexpectedly" terminates? I have a firewall that, on rare occassions, "unexpectedly" terminates (its service component) and it can not restart without closing the Windows confirmation dialogbox. Most of the time it's not a problem since I'm "there" to close the confirmation box; it's the times that I leave my PC unattended for hours that its a problem. Without me to close the confirmation box, my firewall won't restart, leaving my PC vulnerable.
Regards.

Get a decent hardware firewall :P
The majority of ADSL routers come with ok ones on.

|

|

hehe... i wish it was that simple, but obviously it's not 
other software (including securty-related ones) run important components as service. since we all know that no software is perfect (duh!), we can expect them to bug-down. it is in this situation (and many other) where you dont want your services to wait for your confirmation just to have it automatically restarted.
thanks for the reply though

I have very little faith in security software.
My antivirus only runs when I schedule a scan or manually start one, I don't have it scanning all the time as it drains far too much performance, I'm a big boy and can watch what I open. I also use a hardware firewall and turn off the software based one, if it's gotten on to my network then it's probably going to get onto my machine wether I have a firewall up or not.
That siad theres plenty of legitimate reason for wanting to have a service restarted automatically I just wanted to rant about security software :P
|
|

|

ok... i've got it.
for those interested, here's how you do it: go to the services windows and open the properties window for the service you want to automatically restart. go to the recovery tab and set the first failure to restart the service. its up to you wether to set the second and subsequent failure to the same settings or not. then also set the restart service after to zero minutes if you want it restarted immediately.
i guess i got too lazy to explore the other tabs for the service property window to notice those settings.
i hope others could benefit from this.
regards.

Hi All,
How are you doing there? Can anyone guide me to create a virtual drive application in C#.Net or VB.Net. What I want to ask is that I have created a web application in which when a user logs in he/she can store his files and folders and can do almost everything like create, cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, file editing etc. Now what I have to do is to create an windows application in which when the user logs in he/she can see the files and folders that is stored on server. And the application will create a virtual drive in windows explorer. And all the windows tasks should available there. And whatever changes the user makes on that drive it will immediately reflect in the web folder also. I hope you understand my problem. Please help me in this. I just don't know how to start. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks......

Maybe you could start by taking a look at the soruce of TrueCrypt[^]. It is a open soruce program which lets you create virtual drives, which on the physical drives is an encrypted file.
I hope that is something to start with

I am preparing to sell my desktop (probably on eBay), and I want to make sure that the information currently contained on the hard drive is not there anymore (like my company info, bank accounts, tax, etc.) before I sell it.
I heard that simply formatting the drive is not enough. How can I make sure there is no more sensitive information when I hand it over to the buyer?

That's easy, delete everything; then create a file and write zeroes to it until
it gives "disk full" exception.
If you want to be absolutely sure -- a little paranoia never hurts -- repeat a
couple of times with random data. Make sure to use different seeds each time !

The best way is to boot of some disk/cd which fills the whole hdd (not just the partition, but from sector 00) to the end with random data, multiple times. There are probably many free and commercial products for this. The only one i know of is KillDisk[^] The free version will zero the whole drive. But there is probably some other free version that will fill it with random data too.
Using the free version of killdisk, to zero the whole hard drive twice should be sufficient 
No "average user" can then recover your data

Something like BCwipe will let you put down enough burrying data to make all but the most detailed forensic analysis unable to recover data. One of the wipe routines it offers used to be a DoD standard, but currently the only approved means for disposing of old disks is physical destruction. Unless you've done something to warrant attention from the NSA or another similar organization though it should still be good enough.

Really. I don't get you. Formatting is a sure-kill of all data right?
