Is there a way for Windows Service to Read/Write HKCU Reg key ?Hi:
I'm writing a Windows Service program which needs to read/write the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key for the current logged on user. I know that
for a Windows service does not have concept of HKCU since it is always
running in SYSTEM's context. But is there a way (trick?) for a service to
access the HKCU registry key?
Thanks In Advance !
Polaris
Hello
Try, from a user application (the one that is logged on, or the current
user), to send the services the user's SID.
Then access the HKCU through HKEY_USERS\users_sid\............
Hope that helps,

trouble closing Windows MailI have been having a problem closing Windows mail. When I click on the red X
it gives me a message to search for a solution becuase it has stopped working
and restart. Then it works until I restart my computer. What can I do to
stop this from happening every time. Also, does this wil internet explorer.
There are a couple of things you can try, but since IE is also affected,
the common problem may exist outside of Windows Mail.
Which antivirus are you running? Some of them cause problems with
Windows Mail over time.
Make sure you have installed Vista's SP1 and SP2 update...
WriteI am trying to change the default margins. I am requested
to use the Write mode to do this. What is Write, and how
do I access it?
Are you using voice recognition?
Margins are simply changed in the Arrange Menu in Publisher. Are you in the right
newsgroup?

> How do you tell?
WM_DROPFILES is a very old and simple way to get stuff dropped onto your
window. It doesn't tell you the source of the drop. For that you need to
use the more modern drag and drop methods instead, which are unfortunately
more complicated and COM-based. You need to expose IDropTarget object which
will tell you these things and also let you do things like allow or deny the
drop based on the source/file type, etc.

Windows Vista X64 bsodHello All
I had decided to install Vista X64 every so often when you try and boot up you get the
dreaded BSOD which displays

Why did Install Vista ? Because I have it and it was not being used or activated til now.
I find this puzzling as the memory is 4gb nonparity DDR3 and I have tried other memory,
did not change and I run
my machine dual boot with XP X64 and I have no known problems under XP X64 it is quit

How to import BOM into GP8.0/SQL using ExcelGreetings,
I am in a bind and hoping someone feeling sympathetic can lend advice.
I have to build *tons* of BOMs and the one by one method is killing me. When
we transitioned to GP8.0 I was able to build all of my BOMs in two
spreadsheets; one of master part numbers/item descriptions, one of the
contents/qtys of the BOMs. Somehow they were automagically imported by
someone I no longer have as a resource.
I have read I can use Integration Manager to do this but that the tables
have to be exact to avoid jackkniving the database full of junk.
Can someone spell out the steps of how to exp...

This is an Excel group, if you are asking about saving an Excel
file as a Word file, that is one way to destroy your file as far as Excel
is concerned.
Just saving a file in Excel can take awhile. I think everything has to
be recalculated. There is a delete file, and rename associated.

Windows 7 (OEM) Download hangs up at 9x%This has happened at least twice, most recently today (1/20/10). When running
Windows Update, it started downloading 4 updates totalling 9.3MB. Download
progess went as expected until it reached around 94% downloaded. Then, it
just seemed to sit there. The update started at 10:30AM. An hour later, the
download had progressed from 94% to 99% (still downloading). A few minutes
later, I went to lunch for about 45 minutes, after which it showed updates
were successful. I have a DSL broadband connection that works very well for
everything else.

Using names in a formulaHi,
I used Excel a lot some years ago and now need to use it again (Excel2000)
and can't figure out how to do something that was really useful.
The situation:
'Budget' worksheet has month names in the top row and account numbers in the
left column.
I have selected all cells and Created Names with TopRow and Left Column
selected.
'Reports' worksheet has month names in the top row and account names in the
left column, but not necessarily in the same relative position as in the
Budget worksheet.
A formula such as =May Bank_Charges (where May and Bank_Charges are names)

Writing formula for excel worksheetItem Rate1 Rate2 Rate3
A 3 4 6
B 8 5 23
C 56 5 78
Above is my excel sheet.
I want to write some formula so that in every row cell having minimum rate
should come bold. Like For Item A - Rate1(3)
for Item B - Rate2(5)
For Item C - Rate2 (5)
There may be a neater way but this works. Somewhere in you sheet in a cell
type =min(A1:a4), I used L1 Change this to watever range you are trying to
evaluate.
Then select this range and click format - conditional format - cell value -
is equal to
=($L$1) and apply your bold font.
The lowest value in the range will then become bold.

XSLT: Creating anchors from outer XML filesHi,
I'm trying to put the links (href attribute of the <a> element) out of my

This is XML file containing the URLs (link.xml):

<L1>
/SomePage.aspx
</L1>
</LINKS>

Anyone know of any hardware/software to redirect writes to another

Or hardware to write protect a drive for kios's (i found some once
befor the reverted all changes on shutdown, but cant find it anymore

I know VSS(virtual shadow copy service) has a function to redirect on

It will just make everything cleaner, and give alot of flexiblity to

As Frank said, there are no bullets like you have in Excel, but if I want

It has been stated on here before that you must open the sample file first
to start the downloads for the patches in 2005. Then close and reboot your
