I'm having difficulty getting this to work. Any help would be appreciated.
What I'm trying to do is to open Explorer onto the Windows/fonts directory
and then close it. I've added a font programmaticall y to the directory and
found that the easiest way to refresh the folder is to just open windows
explorer. Without doing this, it isn't refreshed in the system. I had the
same problem in VB6 and VBA as with VB.net. Searching the newsgroups showed
me that this same issue exists, with no good solution from Microsoft.
If I can just get my popup window to close, I'm good to go.
Here's my code. It works to open the window, but just leaves it open. I've
tried the Waitforclose options and a variety of different things, but no
luck:
Dim newProcess As Process
newProcess = Process.Start(" Explorer.exe ",
"C:\Windows\Fon ts")newProcess. CloseMainWindow ()
newProcess.Clos e()
1  9214 
Hi Mike,
Try myProcess.Kill( ). Be cautioned, though, because this method is not
recommended in most cases, since it causes abnormal program termination.
Regards,
Cerebrus.

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:

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,...
