unhandled IOException
Hi,
I have a small test appllication that connects to network share and
get the file and folders and display it in a treeview.
This application works fine on Windows XP, when I run it on Vista I get
the error This application has stopped working.
If run from VS2005 in debug mode it would give "IOException was
unhandled" "An Unexpected Network error occured" which I am not able to

Windows Firewall Confusing
I had a brief look at Windows Firewall in Vista Ultimate, and I find it
exposes far too low a level of detail in the ruleset, and there are so many
default rules it is almost incomprehensible without careful study. I
administer ISA 2006 and Firewall-1 boxes with hundreds of rules in the
ruleset, so none of the concepts are foreign to me, but the UI in Vista
Firewall just doesn't organ...

Task manager violates security how many ways?
In a Vista Ultimate installation, there are several administrative users and
several standard users. A standard user can press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to invoke
the Task Manager. A standard user can click the Processes tab. So far, so
good.
At the bottom of the Task Manager screen is a button saying "Show processes
from all users". I HAVE NOT CLICKED THIS BUTTON. Intuitively I think that

UAC locks some administrators
When booting Vista, one admin can log on whereas another cannot. Limited
users can not log in at all. When one cannot log in, the screen goes black
although ctrl+alt+del combination still functions to start task manager or to
log off. When the admin that cannot log in arrives at the black screen, task
manager can run explorer only if it is started with the admin token. The
other admi...

Vista Will Not Let Administrator Create Folder In Root of System Volume?
I just had my first encounter with Vista, and it was ugly. Logged in as
local administrator, I am not able to manually create a folder in the root
of the system volume. What gives with that? Administrator is surely in
the DACL for the root of the volume with Modify privileges.
I then took ownership of the volume and gave it to Administrator - taking
away from the TrustedInstaller ...

Vista privlidges and VB6
Gents (and ladies if there are any here), prepare for a challenge. First, I
am cross-posting this to what I think is the appropriate Vista group because
I think we as VB 6 programmers could learn some techniques (or vice versa)
if there is indeed an answer to this delimma. As a side note, I am dyslexic
and I try to catch my spelling errors but always seem to miss some, so

I have a new Dell E520 that is running Vista Business. When I try to print a

Defeating Keystroke Logging Programs ?
Hello everyone,
I came across someone's idea (printed below) on how to defeat keystroke
logging programs, it seems like a good idea. What do you all think ? Is
there another perhaps better way ? Other than keeping your antivirus and
antispyware up to date, of course.
Also, what about on screen keyboards ? (Ie. type osk.exe in the "run" menu)
Are they effective ? Here, you don't ...
