Copy the below into notepad. Change the username and password to the correct info. Save it as autolog.reg (make suer its not .reg.txt) I cannot find the option for autologin in services or in control panel\users so this will just have to do, sorry. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="John" "DefaultPassword"="asdf1234"

http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/users.htm that will tell you what you need to know just remove the "AutoAdminLogon"="1" if your account isnt set up as an adminb account (full access)

was using quickzip, now changed to tugzip. What i did find out today, for those who care about compression and not speed, is that uharc 0.6a compresses better than lzma compression in 7-zip. I have seen many people say that 7zip has the best compression, but they forget to take some things into consideration when doing a comparison. Set 7-zip to ultra compresion, and it uses 32MB dictionary and 64 bit word as standard. The reason for the high compression is the dictionary size. if you dont think im right then try uharc with the same dictionary size uharc a -d2 -m3 -md32768 -b64 -mm+ -r+ -y+ <source files> and it should come out slightly better in compression levels.

try using gamejackal. its completely legal.

i kinda know that, i was doing it quickly and never thought about what i wrote (brain was in auto). Anyway give me a break im an elctronics engineer and not a programmer ( i teach myself programming in my spare thime. thats why i reach a certain level and usually stop, can get the info to go further.) i kinda know that, i was doing it quickly and never thought about what i wrote (brain was in auto).

Your code worked for me, just had to add using std::cin; using std::cout; using std::endl; and a carrige return to the end of the file to make the compiler remove all warnings and error messages

Wraith - It aint supposed to be C++, its C and all C++ compilers compile c because of the constraints of the language. My point was not that getchar() is the only way to create a wait statement, if i was being really pedantic i would write the code in asm as it is faster than C ( and C is slightly faster than C++ as well as being better at handling low level directory access etc. C has its advantages over C++, but C++ also has its advantages over C )

why use cgywin when you can use mingw and msys. They are true windows command programs that allow you to compile like on linux but do not require you to distribute a dll with your exe's etc. It is a port of the gnu tools rather than a translation layer. It easy to use and easy to set up a clean install/uninstaller. If you want one ill make one for you but i suggest you look at it first.

try quickzip. it can extract a lot of archives and can create a few too

yes you could use BUT that wont compile on every compiler. getch() is not an ANSI/ISO standard function, getchar() is.

Gamejack does the same kind of thing as gamejackal but with an image file. As i said i couldnt get gamejackal working properly but never heard of a problem with gamejack. Gamejack will copy the entire disk, and when it is mounted it acts exactly like the real disk. Unlike alcahol 120% it copies the disk AS IS and that includes the protection sectors. I have never heard anyone complain that gamejack didnt work (when used properly of course)

Sonu - Intel and AMD are atually on par for Power consumption in most cases according to the statistics. (only when the full processor is used does the AMD chip take slightly more power). BUT AMD chips have a new function in them that the processor shuts parts of itself off when they are not required (like idle time). As the processor is required it activates itself in sections, and when they are no longer required they are shut down. By doing this the AMD processors should use less power during normal use (as you rarely use all your procesors capability. Look at the percentage usage in device manager in windows. Most of the time the processor is idle.)

I would always take an AMD chip over an Intel. 1) For the same money you get an extermely better chip from AMD. 2) AMD have better technology, all 64 bit processors run 32 and 64 bit instructions and DONT have an emulation layer (like Itanium has). 3) Intels "Dual Core" processors are 2 32 bit cores on a die, AMDs "Dual Core" is 2 64 bit processors. 4) AMD were the first with 64 bit and the die is an extention of the 32 bit technology. Intel uses 2 32 bit processors to make 1 64 bit processor. 5) AMD chips can be overclocked to a higher amount (they rate their chips on the middle of the processors speed capability, Intel rate it on the max). 6) AS an Elec. Engineer who has friends in Intel Ireland, I prefer AMD (for numerous reasons I cannot mention)

i found that thsi program doesnt always work. I installed it about 6 months ago, and when i couldnt get my games to work uninstalled it. Im thinking of using gamejack, as I had this working before and dont mind having to make a cd image (the new version allows images to mount on daemon tools). This way I can put my originals away safely so they wont get scratched.

I am reshacking files, adding them to a virtual pc running xp. Then when they work ill add the lot to an unattended install. Thanks all for the help

*UPDATE* Misread an article. The article said "The 2.6.13 kernel was released on 28 August 2005. it added some 200,000 new lines of code, and had the same number of lines modified". [Linux Format, P.54 LXF73 December 2005] But from what i can gather from the article and from what i can read on the internet (from various sources), the kernel code shall be modified to improve new features and to remove code that is no longer required. The kernel team have added new features to the 2.6.13 kernel that make old features redundant but also make the kernel more versiile (one such new feature allows access to the existing filesystems with more languages and create your own filesystems using a tool in the new kernel called fuse, which allows languages like perl and python to have the same control as the c code would usually allow.)

Thanks, the problem i had was with creating the styles. Thought TGSoft created files like .theme and .style files that are software specific (that only their software understands). I would like to create styles and theme file that can be read by windows once the uxtheme.dll is patched, but does not require third party software to be installed. (Can change the icons in the dll's but would also find it handy to know which dll's i should modify rather than having to go each one individually.)

Linus has said the linux kernel is bloated. He and others are currently thrying to remove 200,000 lines of code from the kernel as certain filesystem access etc i sno longer required.

is there a particular program people would recommend for creating themes etc or should i create a themes file from scratch according to the MS web site. I would like to post my desktop each month but as of yet I havent created any nice themes so it ends up just as a change in wallpaper. Sorry if you dont think it appropriate to filed this question here.

dont mean to be pedantic but do you mean tft or lcd. If there is a choice between them id take tft. If money was no object id get an oled screen (better than lcd, and is the screens usedm on mp3 players etc)

if you want to make the program cross-platform add in Also if you wamt to program gui programs (that are also cross-platform) look at http://www.wxwindows.org. It is a library of bog standard C++ code that creates windows, X11 etc programs without much code change (or if written correctly with #defines, no change at all). That will eliminate the problem of having to learn MFC that is only M$ specific.

Can post all the info so update my reply to here Reply in Txt format

sounds to me like you want to set up a token ring. You'll find it difficult to do this because the technology has moved on since the rg58 days (cable not unlike the one used for cable tv). Do yu mind me asking, why no hub??? this is the easiset mesthod of setting up the connectivity between the computers, and is also the easiset method to get parts for.

Was wondering, as no Irish institution can give out personal details without authorisation. e.g. you live in Ireland you dictate who knows what about you. The police (and any other organisation that may record information on you) must (when asked) show any information contained in their files to you, and cannot give this information to anyone else. So was wondering how access could be granted to my personal info without my say so
