What's the best way to do some lengthy initialization when a Windows service starts up (or resumes from being paused) without blocking the Service Control Manager?
I have a shared disk that I would like to clean up once per week using a scheduled task of some sort. I would like to use a batch script so that the system admins can easily modify it or reuse it on other directories when needed.
The directory has files with multiple file extensions but the ones that need to be deleted end in .bkf and must be over 2 weeks old.
Does anyone have a batch script solution for this windows server (not sure which version)?
Where does the Windows XP control panel get the value for the "Comments" field from? I'm writing an EXE control panel application, and it doesn't appear from the documentation that you can provide a value for that field.

Hi,
how can I install a provisioning profile on windows 7?
Just dragging it onto the iTunes icon doesn't seem to work like it would on a mac...
It only "pins" it together.
Everything else works in Magento 1.4 but I can't upload images. Running on Windows/IIS. I know it isn't officially supported but seems odd that everything works but something as simple as image uploads.
Tried updating the media path and that is correct. Also updated permissions on directories, but nothing has worked.
Any other ideas to get this to work?
thanks
If a particular piece of software is made to be run on one platform and the programmer/company/whatever wants to port it to the other, what exactly is done? I mean, do they just rewrite linux or windows-specific references to the equivalent in the other? Or is an entire rewrite necessary?
Just trying to understand what makes it so cost-prohibitive that so many major vendors don't port their software to Linux (specifically thinking about Adobe)
Thanks
I just want to know if it is possible to install windows azure or any other cloud technology on your own hardware, or the only possibility to use it is to use the Microsoft's hosting ?

Is it possible to add other menu items to other pinned applications right click menu in the Windows 7 taskbar? I'm using .NET, but I will accept P/Invokes as well. I've been reading the documentation on the API, and can't seem to find a way to do this. I just thought I'd check here as a last ditch effort to find a way.
In my project, I want to build Windows mobile application into installation files automatically without human click on MS.

My code base is getting quite big and it's difficult to organize all the different branches using just directories, I was wondering what would be a decent version control system for my own personal use that works (with little hassle) on Windows?
PS: I'm not looking for hosted VCS like GitHub, SourceForge or Google Code.
I created a Windows 7 service in Visual Studio 2010. Test install crashed and left lots of debris: service shows in the list of services but will not start ('Referenced file does not exist'), is impossible to uninstall ('Action valid only for services that are installed') and is not shown in the Programs and Features aplet.
Is there a list of installed services that I could hack?
Thanks,
Jan
Can the locale configuration of a system OR the keyboard type configuration of that system in anyway affect which API is called at the Kernel level? To be specific, if a program is invoking 'CreateFile()' API then the windows API documentation says that the call gets delegated to either CreateFileA or CreateFileW. If that program is being run on a system present in China with a Chinese Keyboard then which of the two functions will be called?

I've installed python on a different folder other than suggested by Python installer.

Is there anyway to supply the installer with the correct python location (even thou the registry and path are right)?
