Hi everyone,
I am trying to write a program that can make some changes into a windows XP registry. My program works great when it is working on the local registry. What I want to do is to be able to make changes into a registry that resides on another partition or harddrive, not over a network.
Basically, I want to plug in a second hard drive and patch THAT registry without booting off of it. I tried something like this below but clearly this isn't it. -
Dim regKey As RegistryKey, regSubKey As RegistryKey
-
regKey = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, "F:\windows")
-
Naturally, "F:\Windows " is not a valid machine name since it is not a network name.
Any ideas? I've hunted around for the last couple of days and I can't find anything like this anywhere. I got LOTs of pages about remote editing and good 'ol registry editing but not like this. Any help you can provide would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks!
I should mention that this is in VB.2005.

I could not find anything for you good buddy.
Do stay tuned though just in case other experts have some good ideas:-)
In a bit!

Dököll,
I don't mean to sound rude, but your response doesn't appear to be helpful at all. What I have seen is that since you have made a reply, my question does not show up under "view unanswered questions" any longer, making the possibility of finding someone who can answer my query even more remote.
I have been browsing this forum for some time now and I have seen some quality posts and replies from others on this forum in the past. This is why I joined this forum and posted this unusual question. I have to say that, so far, I am disappointed with the lack of any response to a valid question while other, off-topic posts are getting a lot of attention (for example: http://www.thescripts. com/forum/thread748199.ht ml)
Is there anyone here able to at least point me in the right direction if an answer is unavailable?

I have a Windows DPF (v8.2.2) environment.
2 Nodes
5 Partitions
Server1 - Cat (0) Data (1) Data (2)

area of the bufferpool in each partition, I want a smaller value in the

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.
