LocalSystem cannot enumerate domains on Windows Vista
Hi. I develop an application that needs to show the user a list of the visible domain names in a organization. This used to be done with the paif of functions WNetOpenEnum()/WNetEnumResource(). Up to Windows 2k3 these functions effectively allowed the program, running as LocalSystem, to retrieve the list of domains, but with Windows Vista, WNetOpenEnum() fails miserably with error code 131...

KB931768 problem - ***solved***
I had posted in a couple of various threads that I was also affected by this update (KB931768) under both Vista and Windows XP. Under Vista, Windows Mail had become so slow as to be almost impossible to use. Clicking on a post in the news groups took about 2-4 seconds to show the text in the bottom. Replying to a post also took about 2-4 seconds to bring us a usable reply window. Shuttin...

Live One Care
Hi! I am using Live One Care on my Vista-Laptop. Every now and then it tells me that "I have to do some action".

Hi everyone: My laptop has Windows Vista Home Basic. The laptop has one user only, by default it should be given Full Control and Modify to the user when Vista was installed.

IE Privacy Keeper v2.73 - Anyone Running this on Vista?
On my WinXP Pro SP2 box, I run IE Privacy Keeper along with SpySweeper and Eset NOD32. IEPK works fine, w/ both IE7 and FF2.0.0.3. I just installed it on my Vista (Home Premium-32) machine, hoping it would run, but it's not recognizing Firefox properly, even though I've correctly pointed IEPK to the Firefox exe and profile. No amount of restarting, etc., has made any difference. Ha...

OneCare backup to removeable HD
"H:\")Hi, I'd like to do a backup of my HDs on a removeable HD on my machine. This is not an external HD, but a separate HD mapped to "Computer", which I have to start separately from the main rig, using a key. When I point OneCare to it as part of a network and enter the drive's address ("H:\"), OneCare tells me that the network address is invalid. How can I resolve this? I'm using...

Can't Drag & Drop onto CMD window?
Hi, Under Win2k, I can drag a BAT file onto the CMD window from a UNC path and it will place the path to the file at the prompt ready to run. On Vista, I just get a "no entry" sign. I have to do complex builds (e.g. platform SDK) at the command prompt and on Vista have to type the paths manually. -- Gerry Hickman (London UK)...

Stack smashing/buffer overflow research
Hi, let me start by apologising if these are the wrong groups to post these kinds of messages to (I've cross-posted) but after searching the web and not finding any good material I thought there might be someone here who know. I'm a student and I'm currently working on a small project dealing with stack smashing/buffer overflows and protection mechanisms in modern OSes, the idea is to make...

spam email from my account
I have a problem with spam email, which is being sent to people from my email account address book. It masks itself as having my email address. I think this happened due to one virus, which probably hijacked the contact list from my email account. I have removed the virus, but all the people still receive the same spam email, supposedly from me. Is there something that can be done about ...

Can I repair parental controls service?
A multi-card reader USB device caused Vista to go funky so I used system restore to go back to before the device was installed. Now, parental controls is blocking access to anyone who isn't an administrator. Even if parental controls are not assigned to an account the user is unable to go ANYWHERE on the net. They receive a message that the parental controls service is not running. I che...

SID Conversions for elevated Restricted Users
I'm developing a program that needs Administrative privileges, so I have added the "Vista manifest" to get UAC to prompt for a password. So far, so good. Now the following weird thing happens. When an Administrative user logs in and confirms by pressing OK, everything goes allright. If, on the other hand, a Restricted User starts and enters an Admin with password, the program will kill its...
