I've checked the Google Groups archives and the web and not found the
answer, though I've found hints that it's possible.
How can I programmaticall y change the color scheme on Windows XP? I
know that I can access the colors via SystemColors, but I actually
want to be able to switch from the default blue to silver or olive,
for example.
Thanks,

If you want to change it for your app then this may help, it describes using
an application manifest to pick it for your app: http://www.catch22.net/tuts/tips2.asp

If you want to change it for your app
No, I'm trying to change it in general. If you go into Display
Properties, then go to the Appearance Tab, you can select a color
scheme. I want to accomplish that same task programmaticall y.
Thanks for responding.

Hello,
I've been looking on the web for a solution to this problem:
I create a set of checkboxes, and 2 buttons:
- one is labeled "All"
- the other is labeled "None"
Clicking "All" is supposed to check all the checkboxes, which it does
(that's not rocket science ;), but the 'onchange' event does not get
triggered.

Thanks.

I need to retrieve Windows Media Player playlists programmatically via
C# from a desktop machine. Does WMP keep track of used/created playlists
via registry entries or a saved file on the hard disk? I know WMP
likes to save its playlists in directories such as:
H:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\My Playlists
but any .wpl files saved outside such a scheme wont be found if only
looking here.

One gets countless hits when searching for discussions on the need to install
IIS before .NET so that ISAPI references are setup properly. It's also
documented that one can run apsnet_regiis.exe to correct the situation where
..NET is installed before IIS (as in a brand new installation of WinXP where
..NET is already loaded). My question is whether or not it is
programmatically possible to determine who was installed first (or last) from...

Hi all,
I read an article from
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/Sept/InstallingWinServiceProgrammatically.asp
about how to install a windows service programmatically.
Based on the code sample, it provides the feature to install
service
under LocalSystem account.
What I need is to install service under NT
AUTHORITY\NetworkService, so that my service can access the shared
network resources.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
