I am curious if there is any history behind why the ^ character is used to escape the special characters <, , |, &, and ^ in environment variable names in Windows instead the '\' character that is typically used to escape special characters.
Please note that I realize there may be no reason for this, but I'd be interested to hear if there is a reason.
Hi,
I've Motorola Symbol Handheld Model MC3090 (from symbol MC3000 series), having Windows CE 5.0.
Is it possible that i can upgrade the Handheld OS from CE 5.0 to CE 6.0?
I was wondering (if possible) if there was a program/tool/utility that when I create a new file and provide it with an extension that it creates the tags automatically?
For example, a new file I create called index.php would have the appropriate tags auto-generated inside:
<?php
?>
I hope you get the idea. Does one, or could one, exist, preferably Windows based?
Any information regarding this would be helpful.
Hi, the problem is, im using a leased windows server, and im trying to create a directory using php function mkdir, whichever path i try gives the same result.
im using absolute something like this.
mkdir('D:\Hosting\3105674\html\lepsiprisma\hola',0777);
I have a feeling I should be able add a directory to the PATH environment variable on an application-lifetime basis, but I can't find out how to do this. Is it possible to add a parameter to a Windows shortcut that appends a directory to the current value of PATH for use by the application being linked?
Cheers.
I'm looking for a way to host a web UI in a windows service so that I can configure and control it within a browser. I'd like a simple and lightweight solution, and I don't want to use IIS.
I could probably hand-roll most of it but I was wondering if there was something already made to ease the process.
I'm having trouble getting command line arguments passed to Python programs if I try to execute them directly as executable commands from a Windows command shell. For example, if I have this program (test.py):
import sys
print "Args: %r" % sys.argv[1:]
And execute:
>test foo
Args: []
as compared to:
>python test.py foo
Args: ['foo']
My configuration has:
PATH=...;C:\python25;...
PATHEXT=...;.PY;....
>assoc .py
.py=Python.File
>ftype | grep Python
Python.CompiledFile="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*
Python.File="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*
Python.NoConFile="C:\Python25\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*
Hi, in Mac or Linux, we can simply define IP and hostname in /etc/hosts. Then we can call another local computer with hostname (not with IP) we defined. But in windows, How can I do that? Where can I edit such configuration?
Hi Folks,
I'm trying to run a virtual host on a WAPP stack. My virtual host has the FollowSymLinks option, but in Windows, all those symbolic links (I'm using shortcuts, and I think this may be the problem) have the .lnk extension. So if I'm trying to access settings.html, Apache can't find it because all i have sitting there is settings.html.lnk. Apologies if my question is unclear.
Hello,
I've installed:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
and got the following folders:
x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_bcb86ed6ac711f91
x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4926_none_508ed732bcbc0e5a
I allready uninstalled the redistribute package but they continue overthere.
I want to remove them because I want to test my program without installing nothing (I've included those dll's when building it in another computer).
So, how can I remove those folders from C:\Windows\winsxs?
Thanks in advance :D
I have a known shared folder on another Windows PC and i have to transfer files using my ANSI C program to that shared folder using an FTP connection. I need some directions - please guide me.

When making games for windows 7 phone will there be separate places for XNA based games and silverlight games? I'm curious how this will work.
Are all XNA based games going to work out of box? How would someone differentiate an app developed specifically for phone vs just a port?
I am trying to find out how long does it take each thread timeslice (quantum) in Windows but the only information that I found out is about the clock ticks being from 15 to 20ms or 20-30ms.
How can I find this information ?
I think it may vary from OS to OS, but I am not certain.
I appreciate any suggestion on this subject.
Thank you.
Is there a way to take my C++ code and cross compile it to run on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux? Is there a tool to do this, or does it have to be manually compiled on each OS via Terminal/Cygwin?
Hi,
I want to use git as a local repository against a remote SVN repository. I installed version 1.6.0.2 from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list.
According to the documentation synchronization is done via the command
git svn
or a separate command wrapper called
git-svn
Neither of them is available in my installation and I could not find a separate download for Windows binaries.
I'm currenty using the MSYS build. Must I switch to cygwin?
In Windows the Dropbox client uses python25.dll and the MS C runtime libraries (msvcp71.dll, etc). On OS X the Python code is compiled bytecode (pyc).
My guess is they are using a common library they have written then just have to use different hooks for the different platforms.
What method of development is this? It clearly isn't IronPython or PyObjC. This paradigm is so appealing to me, but my CS foo and Google foo are failing me.
hi there
Have switched to windows authentication in the debug mode, set NLTM in the project options but when i press play it just gives me a blank screen! Any ideas what I can do now?
thanks!
When looking at the documentation for the banner tag in windows media metafiles all the documentation says there is a maximum size of 194 x 32 pixels.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd562478(v=VS.85).aspx
However, when experimenting with larger images they seem to be displaying correctly. Is there some real undocumented limitation here? Will it get cut off on different/older versions?
