I want to know how I can search a DPWS device in the network using SSL. Is there any settings to be changed in the Vista Client for this?

Hi All, I've got an app I need to modifiy that's written in C# VS2005/.NET 2.0 which is dsigned to ONLY run when the logged in user has administrator privileges. At one point it needs to delete a HKLM\Software\... registry value if it has, in fact, created it. So there is a method that deletes this registry key. The method has the following RegistryPermission attributes....

Hi All, does anybody know, has a link or whitepaper containing information about the rights to read and modify the registry in windows vista? I want to know the rules in case of my application running in normal and administrative mode. thanks a lot. Mue

Hi, I was referred to this group because the people on the scripting/IE groups thought I'd have better luck here. I need to identify if IE7 is running in protected mode on Vista so my web page can help the user (in a user friendly way) add my site to their trusted zone. Does anyone know how to do this using scripting?

Hi, I got some advice from Steve Riley (Microsoft) about working out if IE7 is running in protected mode on Vista. He suggested I use the IEIsProtectedModeProcess method. Here are some links to information about...

Hi, I have a problem in launching an application through my service. I am trying to launch e. g. update.exe through my service. The update.exe has a UI. The UI should displayed on the current desktop. But the update.exe has to run with admin rights. Therefore a UserAccount exits. I´m trying this stuff with using the "CreateProcessAsUser" API function. Here my code (pieces):

When i issue the following command (running as a local administrator): netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:8080 certhash=biglongcerthashblahblah appid={some-long-app-id} or httpcfg set ssl /i 0.0.0.0:8080 /h biglongcerthashblahblah /g "{some-long-app-id}"

Hi, The preferred loading address for ntdll.dll v6.0.5744.16384 is 0x77EE0000, yet the loader rebases the dll to 0x77AE0000. Since ntdll is the first to load, it is certainly not colliding with other system dlls that would cause the rebase. Not sure about RC1, but this certainly worked in XP. I noticed that kernel32.dll is also rebased. This seems like a general problem with the loader. -...

I am running RC2 x86 but keep getting security warnings saying that trojan downloaders of various names are trying to download, onecare quarantines them but why am I getting them, I have had 10 types within one browsing session.

I had troubles with allowing Windows to unzip a zipped folder so I looked quickly for a new utility for unzipping, I had troubles using the alpha zip and 7-zip that are located on the drive that has XP. So in haste after frustrating times trying to unzip a folder that is routine because I use the software, I downloaded Ace zip. I scanned the download with CA that is up-to-date and it...

AVG Free 7.5.430a828 now working with RC2.Apologies if this has been posted b4. Does Windows Live One Care slow your machine down as much as it did mine?

RC1 reports that digitally signed software is from an "unknown publisher". This is irritating when the software concerned was actually written by myself. = So how do I tell Vista that software signed with my own cert is "known"?

Hi, i'm having trouble running my old GPO Logon scripts through Vista I simply want to use the "Net Time" command but it require elavated permission ! What is the correct way ? thanks...

Whenever I try to install a program, it requires administrative privileges. How do I grant an installer permission to write its files into c:\program files\whatever without also giving that installer permission to gather up all of my private data files and send them over the internet to the program's author?

Hi, well I googled a lot and still can't find a list of things that will bring an UAC prompt if a program attempts to do them. I only found some recommendations , like "don't write to HKLM" , but indeed these don't cover everything. Is there a clear list of what does and what does not bring an UAC prompt? For example, is it possible any sort of 'Read' operation to trigger it

HI! I'd like to mark some .wsf scripts as "needs admin rights", so that the user gets the UAC prompt, when double-clicking on them. If they were .exe, I could create a .manifest file but for scripts, I would need a c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe.manifest. Not only would that be annoying for our customers (putting some file in system32 folder), but it would also affect *all* scripts.

If you go into task manager, select "services" tab, as well as the services button. You will then be brought to a window with a list of "services." Navigate to Windows defender, click on it, then on the top left, you should see the option to start manually. Do that, and then open windows defender.
