Hi, in our webpage, a user could open a windows explorer to his temp directory with a simple link and usage of the file protocol: <a href="file://C:\temp" target="_blank">C:\temp</a> This worked very well a long time, but now it does not work anymore. We use IE6 and Microsoft Windows XP Professional 2002 SP2. I guess it has something to do with new IE security features. Does

Hi, I'm quite frustrated in the fact that I can't even display a simple "Hello World" message on .Net. I've been through all of the groups and searched all over the place and haven't been able to figure out the solution to this problem. First off, the server is Windows Server 2003 - Web Edition (IIS 6) and I'm using .Net Framework v1.1.4322.

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

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,...
