[deXter] Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hi,I wanna know in which language/platform the exe's that are run at NT boot time are made and how.Ie, programs like chkdsk (autochk.exe) , PerfectDisk (PDboot.exe) , PartitionMagic, System Mechanic's RegDefrag (smrgdf.exe) etc are all made using what?These programs run before the logon screen loads, during bootup, and they are started using this key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager"BootExecute"These programs do not run under Win32 mode, neither do they run in DOS mode. What language and what platform? Any resources about this? Any ideas guys?I'm guessing its C++, but dont know about the libraries/platform etcAny help please?Thanks..
