network-drive

I often saw some files which named 'blabla.exe:Zone.Identifier' monitoring I/O with Process Monitor. The files could be seen network-drive. What is Zone.Identifier? What does the colon mean in the filename. Is the colon related the file's extended attributes? Zabba The text after the colon is an identifier for an "Alternate Data Stream". ADS is used to store meta-information about the file. For example, the Zone identifier stores whether the file was downloaded from the internet. Some specific info: About URL Security Zones , Zone.Identifier Stream Name Best is to google around for more

I need to map a network drive with a batch file, but don't want to specify the drive letter. The batch file is used as part of a deployment process; I call the batch file from CruiseControl.Net , the batch file needs to map a UNC path which requires credentials to authenticate. Then the batch file calls RoboCopy to deploy the website from the output directory to the destination (and excludes some files and folders). Finally the batch deletes the network drive. The problem is that this isn't scalable, it's fine when there are only a few projects but we've now got 20 projects using this approach

This is kinda weird problem we came across with my friend. We located our site at network drive and tried to open it from there. All other browsers render this page just fine but IE (btw. why it's always IE? :) ) can't understand inline-block statement. But if I copy our file to my local drive there is no problem, IE renders everything just like other browsers. I tested this with IE7-9b. thirtydot This sounds like that problem - where IE switches rendering modes depending on where the page is located. It's insane. See this answer . http://127.0.0.1/mysite/mypage.php <-- IE8 by default (updated

I have a network shared drive ("\serveur\folder") on which I would like to copy file. I can write on the drive with a specific user ("user"/"pass"). How can I access the shared drived with write privilege using C#? Mitch Wheat Untested code, but it will be similiar to: AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal); // http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/advapi32/LogonUser.html IntPtr token; LogonUser("username", "domain", "password", LogonType.LOGON32_LOGON_BATCH, LogonProvider.LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT); WindowsIdentity identity = new WindowsIdentity(token);

We just did a move from storing all files locally to a network drive. Problem is that is where my VS projects are also stored now. (No versioning system yet, working on that.) I know I heard of problems with doing this in the past, but never heard of a work-around. Is there a work around? So my VS is installed locally. The files are on a network drive. How can I get this to work? EDIT: I know what SHOULD be done, but is there a band-aid I can put on right now to fix this and maintain the network drive? EDIT 2: I am sure I am not understanding something, but Bob King has the right idea. I'll
