Anyone else getting "bad gateway" error messages when trying to update wordpress plugins or accessing the wordpress.org forum? edit:not sure why this posted twice.... somebody that has msfn.org magic powers please delete one of the duplicates.

I don't think it can track your web browsing. They can track if you downloaded the pictures on their email. But that's it I think. Edit: Oops... This topic is 3 months old... I never noticed that....

I doubt it's a virus. Maybe try reading this. I'm just grasping at straws though. http://help.lockergnome.com/office/Encoding-Error-Opening-Word--ftopict981461.html

Thanks for the information

First Question: When I comment on a thread, and then come back two days later, is there a place I can see which threads have had replies? Everytime I come here I always click the "subscriptions" button.... But obviously thats the wrong one. Second Question: Can I link to one of my projects in my signature? Obviously the forum rules talk about advertising in signatures... But I'm assuming that means advertising for 3rd parties and not for my own projects? Thanks.

Tinfoil hats are so 90's. We have better materials nowadays : http://reboot.pro/topic/13177-an-improved-electromagnetical-shielding-device/ jaclaz I think I am going too have to build one of those.

Anybody here have a (working) multi-layered security setup to rival that one? --JorgeA Wow. But does he wear a tinfoil hat?

Very interesting. I didn't know that was possible.

Does anybody have Windows 8? It would be nice if somebody could test this program on it.

Okay thanks. I'll take a look at this. Edit: The CLSID does not show up on XP even without trying to hide it.

I just tried that and got it too work. Now the CLSID is not visible Thanks!!

I tried using a desktop.ini file, however I couldn't get it to make any changes to a folder. Maybe there's something I'm missing? I've also added a start menu like feature to the program.

I'm glad you are interested in my work I add encryption yet, but right now I'm working on adding a Start Menu type feature too the program.

Sure , check "essence" : http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/essence The comment was following of initial suggestion, only aimed to highlight how the *need* for .Net and/or .Net 4 was highly debatable. To continue on the same path - with - let this be clear - no offence whatever intended to the actual Author of the nice Granite tool :, this would more or less add a line to the batch using SECEDIT (or as you pointed out, some sequence of SETACL or similar tools): http://www.robvanderwoude.com/secedit.php There is nothing "bad" of course in using any language or environment but simple things should IMHO made as simply as possible (but not more), particularly if there is a scope into making the thingy "portable". jaclaz I agree that things should be made simple. However, I plan on adding more features, possibly a portable start menu, so that's why I am using C# and not a batch file. As MrJine said, it is "childproof". The idea is too prevent the average person from accessing the files, and that's what it does This doesn't use encryption to protect the folder. It uses NTFS File permissions and CLSID. If you were too plug this into a linux computer, I am not sure what would happen. Obviously the program would not run. But I'm not sure if linux would recognize the NTFS permissions or not. Edit: Thank you for all the comments and suggestions

Interesting idea, which class ID is the folder lock. The class ID is {2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} Thanks. I'll add that to my list of ideas

Alright, let me give you a better description. How it works is it has a folder called "vault." Everything in this folder is locked and inaccessible. In order to unlock the folder, you must start the program, and enter the username and password. Then when you close the program, it locks the "vault" folder along with all its contents. CLSID (not sure why I wrote cclid) is used to change the behaviour of a folder. By adding a CLSID too a folder, you can change what happens when you click on the folder. For example, if you rename a folder and add ".{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} " to the end of the folder name. The folder will now open "My Computer" instead of the folder contents. There is also a CLSID for a folder lock, which is what Granite Portable uses too lock the Vault.It combines that with the NTFS File permisions. First it uses the CLSID Folder Lock to lock the Vault, then it denies everyone access to the folder. By doing both these things, it makes the Vault semi secure and will prevent the average joe from accessing it.

Well... That's very true However, don't all Windows 7/8 computers come with the .net framework 4 pre installed? Edit: Actually I'm wrong. Windows 7 Comes with 3.5. I guess the first thing I'll do is change the required .net framework to version 3.0 NET Framework 3.0: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 .NET Framework 3.5 SP1: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 .NET Framework 4.0: Windows 8 .NET Framework 4.5: Windows 8

Hello everyone! I have developed a program that allows you too lock files on your flash drive. It's not the most secure thing on the planet. But it will keep the average joe from peaking at your files. http://graniteportable.com/ If anyone has any ideas, or suggestions, then let me know

Okay, thanks

I want to create a nlite addon of comodo pro 2.4. I do not think there is any switches for it. The later version has switches. But I need one that works on Windows 2000 So how would I be able to make it install silently?

Thanks for that. I'll check it out.

I am making a windows 2000 disk. And I would like to add office 2000 pro to it. I've spent hours trrying to get it to work. But so far no luck. Can someone give me step by step directions? Has anyone done this before?

I developed the fake blue screen of death to put on my bosses computer on April fools day. Sadly I never got the chance to do that since he was in Toronto that day. So I guess I'll have to save that for next year. According to Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition it reqiures .net framework 3.5 and thats what I've tested it on. So if it works with version 2, then great .

Here are all the nLite addons I have created. I have tested them all on a Windows XP pro x32 Virtual Machine. I only have two at the time being, but will update this once I create more. Desktop Slideshow XP Media Center Edition Screensavers
