Hi everyone, The requirement here is to somehow hook to the OS to come in between the UI and the CD ROM drive. The reason is that the data on the CD-ROM will be encrypted. The intermediate DLL will decrypt the data before it is handed over to the shell, provided the key is available. The use would already be obvious. Yes, I know, it's not worth it, but someone wants it. My guess right now, is that I need to hook with either: 1- the CD-ROM block driver 2- the CDFS/UDFS? Any ideas, which one I should go with, if at all I have caught the right end? Could this be OS version dependent? Appreciate the help. Saqib

Hi everyone My students are doing C# with the .Net framework isntalled on Windows 98. The problem is, .Net Framework SDK is too big(110 MB) and the .Net framework redistributable (29 MB) is manageable, so they have installed it, because it does come with the C# compiler csc.exe. However, unlike the SDK, it doesnt come with a batch file that can set the PATH variable. Some of the students are very unfamiliar with the command line and are unable to set the path variable to include the directory where the .Net framework is installed. It is usually under windir in Microsoft .Net\Framework\v1.1.432 or something of that sort. I am wondering if someone could help me build a batch file that would determine the folder in which csc.exe is and would add that folder to the path variable. I could invoke this from autoexec or from startup or something. Help appreciated. Regards
