need c++ code for calculating the memory usage!
can someone help me in this regard!

You can get some info from GlobalMemoryStatus(...) but it just gives you, as you might guess from the name, the status of the global memory... it won't tell you how much a particular process is using.

why not simply give a call to pgrep (if you are using a *NIX system). You could have pgrep dump to a temp file, then parse it to get out whatever information you need.
Of course, this solution really cuts down on portability...
Otherwise, to have an approximation of the memory used, if it's a small program, you could use sizeof() and your variables... You'll be missing the memory usage for the program itself though, as far as I see it.

With the advent of Win XP's fast user switching you can now get multiple users logged onto a single machine.
The problem I run into in a multi-user environment is that they don't bother to log off again.. which really stresses the virtual memory of my machine.
Is there a way to 1) determine which users are currently logged on and 2) figure out how long they've been idle, and 3) selectively log them off if they haven't been doing anything?

Hi,
I would like to know something about the workgroup configuration. When a group of computer are configured for a work group configuration then is it possible somehow to manage those computers remotely from some other computer using the Local Administrators user name and password? How are the computers configured for the work group configurations be seen from a network supporting domain configuration. Can somebody help me in this regard?
Any reference material provided or any link will be of great help.
Thanks
Abhishek.

There is no domain in a workgroup - just individual hosts in the workgroup. Products like PCAnywhere allow you to administer individual hosts remotely. If you're using XP the Remote Management functions may allow you to isolate individual hosts in the workgroup if each host's local administrtor logon is known, but I haven't yet tried it out.

when you set a group of computers in a workgroup, you can access the shared resources of each computer from any other computer on the same workgroup. you can give access to the files and resources unrestricted over the workgroup or can give it with password.

try to find more on microsoft website.

Windows XP no longer auto runs any CDs, regardless the drive I place them in (the CD-RW or the DVD-ROM). The autoplay is not turned off for either.
Another thing is that CD volume names are ignored, instead the DVD is always "Audio CD" and ther CD-RW is always "YR1" (Yuri's Revenge, a game), which ahsn't been in the drive for weeks.
There is no problem reading from CDs once you use explorer to get to their root.
What on earth is going on?

Any idea how to check if that's it, and if so turn it back on? It did start happening just after I installed Red Alert II (from memory anyway).

Whats the deal with XP's driver rollback? Whenever I have a bad driver that I need to roll back to the previous driver its always tells me that there is no driver restore point. Do I have to create one or is the driver installation supposed to do it?

Most times I've installed a new driver or new device in an XP machine it has created a restore point before proceeding. I'm not sure whether that is a built in function in XP, or a required step in writing a driver installer. I suspect it's the latter, as the few times I've installed something that did not do this I also got a warning that the driver has not been certified to work with XP.

These are signed drivers and I have system restore runnning (although I've never used it), thats why I wondered.

I am not sure what could be the reason for message "there is no driver restore point", but I know that windows XP automatically creats restore point whenever you install something. in your case it could have been switched off by mistake or some other reason. you can also check for the restore points yourself. goto Start->Programms->Accessories->System Tools-> System restore.
you can check here whether the system restore is on or off and if it's on whether it has generated the restore point before the installation of the driver.
did you have any previous version of the driver you are trying to install?

Hi All,
I would like to know how the File Handling APIs provided by Windows are passed on to the NTFS driver. What are the various layers through which these API calls are taken before the file system driver actually converts it into low level system calls. Suppose I want to programmatically open a file in C++, then I would make a call to OpenFile() method provided by Win SDK. Then, what are the various stages before the call is actually taken by the file system driver. Do we have any control at the driver stage of the call?
Please help,
Abhishek.

Read Inside Windows 2000 by David Solomon and Mark Russinovich (MS Press).
For CreateFile (there is no OpenFile), the entry point in kernel32.dll converts the file name into an absolute path suitable for the object manager, converts the other parameters as appropriate, then calls NtCreateFile in ntdll.dll. This is a fairly simple routine which executes software interrupt 0x2e (Windows 2000) or uses the SYSENTER instruction (Windows XP) to change to kernel mode and execute the kernel mode NtCreateFile routine. From there, the object manager (an Executive component) is used to locate the device object corresponding to the file system, whose Parse function is called to process the rest of the path.
You probably want to write a file system filter driver: a driver that sits above the file system and gets to see and manipulate I/O Request Packets destined for the file system.
I think you need the Installable File System kit[^] for developing file system filter drivers.

Hi
I had installed visual studio 6.0 and then installed Visual Studio .NET and other framework related files. Due to space constriant i uninstalled Visual Studio .NET. Now i am not able to use any of the help files in any application (".CHM" files). I tried installing MSDN for VS 6.0 after copying all the files it prompts about a newer version of help exists in system.
I am using Windows XP home edition (updated will all critical updates etc...)
Can somebody help me on this help issue, do i have to reinstall the XP?
Thanx
Harish

I'm pretty sure that Windows XP comes with a newer version of the HTML Help control than MSDN for Visual Studio 6.0 does.
It should allow you to continue the installation after acknowledging the useless message box.

The last time I saw a design dumb enough to include a power key on the keyboard, I was using an Apple IIC! What kind of keyboard are you using? Can you snap the keycap off the bugger? Or just drop a dollop of superglue on it.

It's called "Benq", whoever they are. Working for the company I do, it will definately be the cheapest keyboard possible!!!
