Say you have an app, that you want to provide users ability to browse the system32 directory and execute programs in (like telnet). What is the best method for supporting this when you need to support XP onwards as a client and 2k onwards for server? Having written all this up I wonder if it's just too much time/effort in providing a browse to do this, where they could just copy it from explorer. Still requires ability to launch. I have found some discussion on Nynaeve . So far it seems there are the following options Create a sysnative folder in windows which will allow you to browse/execute

I'm struggling with a problem of how to determine the location of the 64-bit Program Files directory on 64-bit Windows Vista from a 32-bit application. Calls to SHGetKnownFolderPath(FOLDERID_ProgramFilesX64) do not return anything. The MSDN article KNOWNFOLDERID also states that this particular call with FOLDERID_ProgramFilesX64 is not supported for a 32-bit application. I would like to avoid as much as possible hardcoding the path to "C:\Program Files". Doing something like GetWindowsDirectory() , extracting the drive from the return value and adding "\Program Files" to it is not appealing

I installed msysgit on other Windows machines with no problems. On this Vista 64 bit Ultimate box, I installed the 3 most recent versions of msysgit. On all three installs, when I do a "git bash here", I get exactly this on the command window: sh.exe": fork: Permission denied sh.exe"-3.1$ The git command doesn't work.

I recently got a Dell XPS 64-bit Vista for myself. Eclipse doesn't have their 64-bit version, but I've read on forums that they download Eclipse and work with Java 1.5 on the Vista with only some problems. I have Java 1.6 and Netbeans was easily downloadable. What's the basic/big difference that I'll notice if I shift to Netbeans from Eclipse now? What is the difference between Coke and Pepsi? Ok, it's not really that similar, but a lot of the differences are in qualitative ways. Speaking of Netbeans 6.1 and 6.5: Netbeans has a very different UI and workflow. There are no perspectives, but
