...other than obvious backups and any windows group policy strategy you may or may not have.. considered windows file system attributes? the DOS command attrib +h +s c:\bin\test.mdb for instance will make the file hidden and system. This will still give the user an idea of the file location on the FILE menu if used in and 'uncontrolled' Access runtime menubar situation though.

It largely depends on how unintentionally destructive or downright malicious your userbase wants to be and your perception of workable preventative measures?

Regards

Jim

Ok, in my program I have a std::list<Document*>, where Document is one of my own classes. I need to go through this list and check each item if it's ready for deletion. If it's not, skip to next, if it's ready I take steps to delete it. The thing is that the list is part of a gui application and the system removes the Document* from the list during the execution of the loop body. That means I cant use iterators to iterate over the list....

I have a web application that allows a user to manage files on the server. On the page is a counter that tells them how many files are in their folder. When you delete a file from the folder using ASP.NET, it seems to send a command off to delete the file and keeps processing the page... the page reloads, but the file count of the folder doesn't change because it seems that the page rendering is faster than the file deletion. Is there...

I am interested in writing my own secure file deletion program. I want to be able to read and write to my hard drive directly. My application will seach my hard drive for all locations marked for deletion and then replace it with "x" or something that securely removes previoius data. My question is what objects, API calls, etc, etc do I use to read and write directly to the hard drive? -- Regards, Shaun Goldston

I have some code that loads up some php/html files and does a few things to them and ultimately returns an html file with some php code in it. I then pass that file onto the user by using echo. Of course then the file doesn't get seen by the user. Is there any command that essentially executes the code and then echo's it? something that will take a string like '<body>blah<?php echo 'Hello'; ?></body>' and actually interpret the php

Hi, I have read some of the forums regarding deletion of log files. Just to get more information before I perform the deletion of log files. These are the steps I got: 1. db2 get db cfg <DBSID> 2. search for the "first active log file", then subtract 1 from it. For example i got S0000745.LOG. Subtract 1, that's S0000744.LOG 3. db2 prune logfile prior to S0000744.LOG What is the difference if I simply command the "rm -r <filename>"? I...

I am wondering if this is possible. I have a file that is accessed by multiple users and keeps track of activity (the file is polled by flash every 2 seconds). As users leave, the flash program tells the php program to remove them from the activity file, and as users access this activity file, users who have timed out (haven't been heard from in 60 seconds) are removed. Using a combination of flock, microsecond sleeps, loops and the flash...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
