As part of a security audit of our existing servers, I'm looking at the services that are running on each. Of couse, many of those services use svchost.exe to start, but none of the tools I've found so far can tell me any more than which dll is loaded by svchost. What I'd like to be able to find...

Please read my post in the AJAX forum regarding a very strange XMLHTTPRequest problem: thread1600-1502458 Tracy Dryden Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, For you are crunchy, and good with mustard. [dragon]

I've got the strangest XMLHTTPRequest problem, and it occurs in both IE6 and FF3! I'm sending an XMLHTTP POST request to the server to update some data. The problem is that the response I'm getting back appears to be a cached response, sort of (I'll explain that in a minute). I've tried every...

I found this VB class that allows you to easily call cdecl routines from VB - without writing a wrapper function! Use your own subroutines for callbacks. It's amazing, but it works. Saved me a whole lot of work. Universal dll function caller Features: Transparent CDECL/stdcall function...

My father frequently used the expression "Hobb's choice" to mean a situation where you have a choice between two or more options, none of which are particularly attractive. I picked up the expression from him and have been using it for decades, but never knew just where it came from. Well, the...

Heard this on channel 12 (WWBT Richmond) News this morning (I was home nursing a bum knee): "The heat wave raises the risk of small children being left in hot cars." Actually, it doesn't. It raises the risk for small children who are left in hot cars, but it may actually make people think...

My company is about to implement an application that will call a user and give them a prerecorded or text-to-speech message when a certain error condition occurs. We are currently looking into the various VB controls/libs to use for dialing and playing the message. Anyone have any...

My boss is looking for an alternative to Visual Source Safe (which he hates) to manage our source code. I've been asked to find one. He would prefer one which does not store the code in compressed files or db files, so if there is a problem with the program the code is still accessible (which is...

One of my bosses asked me to look over a letter he had written to a client. The last sentence was: "If I can answer any questions you may have please feel free to call me." I changed it to: "If you have any questions please call me." My logic was: 1) How would the client know whether he could...

I've been tearing my hair out over this one, and it appears to be a bug in Mozilla's regular expression engine. If I run the same re test over the same data in IE I get the same result every time, just as you would expect. BUT, if I do the same thing in FireFox I get alternating True and False...

If you don't know for sure whether your program is going to be called with get or post data, you can access either very simply. The usual way way is to leave out which you're referring to (.Form or .QueryString), like: Request("formfield") With this method ASP will scan all of the Request...

Just read this in a survey site: I will be 50 in about 2 months. My exact age is neither 49 nor 50. I guess "exact" is in the mind of the surveyor. Tracy Dryden Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, For you are crunchy, and good with mustard. [dragon]

How do you remove the dotted line that appears around the area of an image map when you click on it? It isn't necessay, and looks terrible. I tried the hidefocus attribute, but it didn't work. Tracy Dryden Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, For you are crunchy, and good with mustard. [dragon]

Does anyone know where the total number of handles that shows in the task manager on the performance tab comes from? Is there any way to get that number with VB? My boss needs this for a monitoring program he is working on. He says he has searched everywhere and can't find it. Help me show my...

If you have any thoughts about using the Image Map tool in GIMP to create an image map, my advice is: don't bother. It's FULL OF BUGS! I created ONE area for an image (admittedly with quite a few points), saved it, and when I reopened it the area was totally messed up! Points were moved to...

I know how to do it in Explorer, but how do you resize an iframe in Firefox? I don't care WHAT size I resize it to right now, just ANY size aside from the default or the one originally specified. Here's what I've tried: window.frames['theFrame'].height = 400; // and //...

I found this amongst a selection of items in the Funny Times with the byline "Collected by M. D. Rosenberg". There was no other attribution. "A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a workstation. What more can I say." Tracy Dryden...
