ok. firstly i understand what you want. Secondly I program a littel, and understand the level of complexity in what you ask. The true programmers have already answered the question for you....it requires a major rewrite to windows to add the functionality to zipfldr.dll. What could be done is to use the rar.dll and 7z.dll from 7-zip and write a shell extention around them. This is beyond my programming capabilities, so i will not even try to assume as to how it could be done. I would prepose that such a task would be easiest in VB .Net or something like Delphi, where DLL imports are a little easier (i program in C and C++, non-MFC, so for me I dont know how i would even go about it). I say VB or Delphi because i have seen many tutorials stating the use of DLL's in these languages, but wont learn a new language just to write a shell ext.

you will find that zip files are usually larger than rar files. this is due to the fact that rar uses a larger dictionary for compression. most zip archivers use deflate, an open compression format, but if you use deflate64 (a trademark of pkware hence not used in freewafre apps) you will prob find these zip files are smaller. If its down to speed i use zip or rar, if ist down to compression i use 7zip or uharc on the commandline. I find that tugzip does what i want most of the time, which is to open most archives i download from the net and it also provides me with the ability to zip a folder if i wish (or use 7z if i dont care about speed). Also my comparison was for two freeware apps, WinRar is commercial and also has the benefit of being written by the guy who invented RAR. Most freeware apps dont give rar creation ability because of the licence fee. Finally i never said Tugzip was perfect but i find its better than IZarc (i prefer to take a littel longer and know what an archiver is doing than for it to give meaningless feedback while archiving slightly quicker. Im not having a go, just pointing out to people that IZarc aint all its cracked up to be. Each to his own

i still think tugzip is the archiver for me. To each there own. I didnt really like IZArc when i used it last, moved from it to quickzip then foung tugzip and have stuck with it ever since.

To follow the tutorial you dont need an FTP server, you need a HTTP server with an FTP account. The FTP is only to put the files into the HTTP server. This can also be afchieved by using the upload forms, but takes a **** long time (with an FTP client you click all the files and folders and click upload). This one has advertising but will get you started http://www.bravenet.com/

if you dont want to install openoffice you can always use portable openoffice. its designed to run off a usb stick but can run anywhere. Openoffice calc is supposed to support vbscript now too. http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable

reverse setps 1 and 2 Modify the .dll modifype .dll makecab.dll

If the file is of .doc more than likely you can open it with MS word but not wordpad. If you dont want to edit the file you can download MS wordviewer instead of installing the whole office suite. Or you can download Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org) as it too will open MS Office file formats. Finally if you want to edit the files but dont want a high memory footprint (don't want to use too much HD space) download portable open office (http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable) its designed to run on 65MB on a usb drive or you could download portable abiword (http://portableapps.com/apps/office/abiword_portable) which is only a word processor (allowing MS Word file formats to be edited) as its designed to use 6.3MB on a usb drive. P.S. The reason open office is so large is because it is a total replacement for MS Office, replacing MS Word (Open Office Writer), MS Excel (Open Office Calc), MS Access (Open Office Base) etc.

Both have their benefits. Python seems to have more libraries to allow low level programming where as php seems to have more web development functionality

Did you run reshacker in safe mode or normal mode. Usually in safemode you can edit the icons with no errors. or you could copy your shell32.dll, edit it and do a with a batch/cmd file to replace it using runonce at boot up

to hide the command window use a program calle cmdow.exe (its whats recommended on numerous occasions by alot of members in msfn). 2) What do you mean increase the font size. As in the font displayed in notepad or the font in the cmmand window????

LLXX- i agree with your comment on the loop function but it was only an example. Also i didnt know the sleep() function was platform independant. If is works on all oses then its handy to have

why does it have to inerupt. If i were implementing this and wanted to keep it simple, i would have a txt file for the timetable. The program runs agauinst the timetable, has a delay for each period (can be a while loop whith a no op inside), after trhe delay(make the delay 1 minute shorter than alarm period) check the current time and checks against the timetable and dispalys it in the progam window. Then when the alarm sounds the user can click on the window to see what subject is displayed. That way they can ignore the alrm until they want tro read it. It would be less hastle then trying to implement the inetrupts, or to ensure he program is the one in focus when the alarm sounds.

As far as im awaare the difference is so. the require function will halt if the sepcified file is not found, the include function just keeps parsing the file. Also I think the include will be pasred every time it is seen where require is only parsed once e.g. include("somefile.php"); ... include("somefile.php"); will parse the same file twice, once at each include statement the require statement require("somefile.php"); ... require("somefile.php"); will only parse somefile.php once and keep the information in the buffer (I could be wrong on this but I remeber reading it somewhere)

firstly does you server support php. copy and paste this into a document, upload the document then run it /* test php functionality */ <?php phpinfo(); ?> If you get an error when you run this you can use php without installing it on teh server first. If we get passed this bit, let me know and ill suggest some sites for you to read on using php.

scubasteve-do you not know the difference between intel and amd? when intel says 1.2GHz it really means 1.2GHz is the top the proc can work at, when amd say 1.2GB that means it is stable at 1.2GHz, but may function at higher speeds. Basically intel round up to top speed, amd round down to stable speed, take it from someone who worked intel, theyalways exagerate (well except for the new double core proc, but thas only really a top end product , where as amd dual core is a middle range product now [if you want you can have 2 or 4 amd dual cores on a mboard at the mo, intels can have 4 single core or 1 dual core cause "intel are the best" and hence the reason why appel will loose market share with intel and ms *lol*] )

give us an idea as to what the different course coses are, and also are all the students referenced by course? By the way as a matter of intrest is th eindex the student name or what is it? need to know to try and make the cod distinguish between courses and students.

it wont work because they are two different types. PCIE uses a different method to access the card, and is much faster. It was never designed to be backwards compaitble for use with PCI cards, it wa sdesigned to replace PCI architecture. its like saying the floppy drive cable will fit in the IDE connector for a hard drive, it physically fits but the pin configuration is different.

So the cd doesnt work at all?? I have to say, being Irish i sometimes enjoy the laws Ireland has. Firstly I can give information to an Irish company (even if its hosted in america, and has an address in Ireland) and they cannot pass on my information without first emailing me to request mypermission (not to say that information is not sold. but any information exchange without prior permission of the person whos information it is, is illegal and in direct conflict with rights of those living in ireland. NOt even the police have access toall my information, and if I walk into a police station I can request to view all information being held against me, as It is my information ) Secondly, the web site says that the cd comes with an istallation key This is a fully functional original Microsoft CD with installation key code and CD I dont know about America, but in Ireland if it didnt come with a working key thats false advertising which also is a breech of the law. You cannot advertise someting and change your mind after, what you see is what you get (unless the advertised price is higher than the price when purchased. e.g. if a shelf says a packet of crisps is €0.10 and the checkout sayys €0.40 then you get it for €0.10 because its the advertised price, but idf he shelfsays €1.00 and the checkout says €0.40 then you get it for €0.40. I hope it works out for you, but you always have to remeber a legal saying "Caveat Emptor - buyer beware. know what you are purchasing before parting with the money

even if its legal, what most people miss is they only sell the software. so the sell you a download of MS Win XP Pro wih SP2 but no licence, so its really no use to anyone on this community, becaus ewe have information redily available to convert win xp pro cd's to win xp pro sp2. the same prodcut in the end if you dont have a licence key, but if you take the trouble to update a cd to be xp rpos + sp2 you will ensure you have a serial and will also add in software you want to install at T13 (even using bashrats driver packs to enhance the normal cd). This site if its legal provides a repository for software, but mpst of it is usless without a cd key. We offer the software for downloading only, it means that you do not receive a fancy package, a printed manual and license that actually aggregate the largest part of the retail price. In this situation we are restricted in selling the products for private purposes only! You will not be able to get a technical support and different rebates from the manufacturer. So have your cake, but no chances of eating it

I found this earlier today and find it very interesting. Its one guys fight against mobile phone thieves If its a repost then sorry http://www.evanwashere.com/StolenSidekick/ (Just spreading the info)

From what i can make out you are looking for if A1 > B1 then AA1=A1*C1 If A1 >A2 and A1 <B2 AA2=A1*C2 ....... where AA1 and AA2 are used as tempoary hold cells (As i dont think A1=A1*C1 works in excel) Is this right

Fedora is red aht without the cost. Download ferdora and its exactly the same underlying package. there are a few utilites that may not be in it that are in red hat but it contains most of the functionality of red hat.

do you you want the most compression or the best quality. The highest quality with highest compression would fall under ogg, the highest quality with lowest compression would fall under FLAC. Both are written by the same group, Flac is lossless ogg is lossy. But although ogg is lossy most of the compression is achieved by removing the higher frequency components of the audio, e.g. the stuff that we cannot hear. Many people would say that there are no frequencies in the music that cannot be heard but these people forget about the harmonics automatically generated in music production. Anyway. If you want best quality and almost the same size as cd tehn use flac (it achieves som file reduction but is not designed to give too much) or if you want the smallest filesize go with ogg. both can be found on http://www.xiph.org/ (OGG is actually the name of the container format (like rar, or zip archive), the actual name for the audio compression format is ogg vorbis. See http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#what. FLAC can be used in the ogg file format.)

No matter waht rank system is used it will have problems. The current rank system is good but is dependent on pist counts. This means for the people like me who dont express an opinion unless they think its valid, are left lower down the ladder. But then again, most rank systems cannot take into account the validity or informativeness of any posts. But as was said before a rank system is required to give an idea of who to listen to.
