Are there any way of detecting that a program have crashed and left an
orphan file?
I have tried with the filesystemwatch er, but that didn't work.
Maybe I can use a polling strategy and keep polling the file and check if it
is locked. But can I do this without trying to open the file and catch
exeption.
Any suggestions are welcome?

What you mean with an orphan file?

If the file is locked then the program is still running.
You can check the process list to see if a program is running or not.
And no, AFAIK the only way to really know if you can open a file is trying
to open it and handling the exception

I am *not* a DBA, so please bear with me. A client's Windows 2000
server went belly up yesterday afternoon after getting updates from
Windows Update. Wouldn't come up at all any more. I broke the mirror
for the OS, rebuilt the Windows 2000 installation, and installed MS-SQL
2000 and SP3 so that now the server is configured identically to what
it was before the crash.
Now I have the databases in D:\Program...

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.
Is there a way to create a registry key, but orphan it from the program that
created it?
Reason: Create a key, but not associate it with the program, so that the
program can check for that key to see if the product has been installed and
stop a second installation or illegal installation.
If not orphan, can you encrypt the Key so that only your program can decrypt

Hi,
Is there any tool that would do static detection (doesnt execute the
application) of dead code for C++ application.
Few tools do show which code flow would never get executed, but i am
looking for some tool which would detect any functions that are never
used at all? or any classes that are created but not instantiated.
This is required for an application which includes hundreds of C++

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,...
