Hi there
I'm looking for a simple solution of a win32 shell extension (virtual
drive).
It should make available a new drive with letter, which will be
read-only. Instead of a network drive or similar it then should query a
server application for directory/file listing.
Would be nice to have a lib or similar for that.
Any hints??

Not much help... but the place to be looking is in the win32 api.
You'll then need to see if the functionality is already exposed in the
win32 extensions by Mark Hammond - if not you can use ctypes to access
it. The ctypes mailing list might be a useful place to ask questions -
but it's not something I can help with... although if someone feels
like writing a tutorial it's a subject I would be very interested in...

There's an example shell extension in the Pywin32 demos
that creates a pseudo-folder whose contents are determined by
python code. Take a look at
\win32comext\sh ell\demos\serve rs\shell_view.p y.
However, I don't think it qualifies as 'simple' ;)

Creating a new virtual folder with a shell extension is easy. Creating a
new drive letter requires that you write a file system driver, something
that (A) must be written in C, (B) requires the expensive "installabl e file
system kit" from Microsoft, and (C) no human being really wants to do.

Well, is it possible to write Win32 shell extension in python? I want

Any hints or info about this would be highly appreciated.

Hello All,
I am helping someone write a python script to run their DOS application
through an SSH terminal. It seems that this program wants to access a
DOS shell and send output there. If running remotely, this causes a
problem because it locks up the program. The program seems (to me) to be
looking for some non-existant DOS shell to send its output to. How might
I emulate this shell (or whatever it is) with python? I have tried...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
