I got a weird problem, i created my program so that when it logs in it checks registry setting to whatever the database credentials are. Now even when i changed all the strings that i created to null it still reads information that is not there, even if i deleted the registry key

i installed windows 7 lately and don't know if that's has an affect and it slowing me down?

anyone know whats happening

Hi All, I'm writing a Windows Service app using C#. I need to read some configuration settings before the service starts up. These settings will be used by the service in its operation. Question is, which is the best way to store & retrieve the settings?

When programming reads of the Windows Registry, do the registry keys and values need to be localized for international use? For example, do I need to convert the key name L"\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows" into Japanese, Korean, etc., for use in those markets? Thanks experts!

BLUF: I need to build up the actual %TEMP% path for all users methodically using values in the registry, and I need to do this both by the current user AND as a service will do this running as "Local System." Thus, I can't rely on it always being ...\<Username>\Local Settings\Temp. So, this partially applies to C#, because I'll need to do this in C# code. But, I think I already know how to do it. What I don't know is where to find...

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.

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,...
