What's the best way to do some lengthy initialization when a Windows service starts up (or resumes from being paused) without blocking the Service Control Manager?
My code base is getting quite big and it's difficult to organize all the different branches using just directories, I was wondering what would be a decent version control system for my own personal use that works (with little hassle) on Windows?
PS: I'm not looking for hosted VCS like GitHub, SourceForge or Google Code.
Hi guys, I found an old Windows XP SP2 in my -trash- cd can and tryed it on a 30 gb FAT32 partition.
Installation went fine till the copying operation was completed and XP asked for reboot. After that either it starts over again or throws invalid disk.
Starting over is an infinite loop the only way I see is to choose the "Repair console" but i'm not used to a dos box.
Can anyone help me through this harmful instalation?
Cheers, Daniel

Is it possible to add other menu items to other pinned applications right click menu in the Windows7 taskbar? I'm using .NET, but I will accept P/Invokes as well. I've been reading the documentation on the API, and can't seem to find a way to do this. I just thought I'd check here as a last ditch effort to find a way.
Hi,
how can I install a provisioning profile on windows 7?
Just dragging it onto the iTunes icon doesn't seem to work like it would on a mac...
It only "pins" it together.
Can the locale configuration of a system OR the keyboard type configuration of that system in anyway affect which API is called at the Kernel level? To be specific, if a program is invoking 'CreateFile()' API then the windows API documentation says that the call gets delegated to either CreateFileA or CreateFileW. If that program is being run on a system present in China with a Chinese Keyboard then which of the two functions will be called?

So I have to restart VS and run it as Administrator. Is there a way to set it up so VS always starts with Admin privileges?

I have an application that is installed and updated via ClickOnce. The application downloads files via FTP, and therefore needs to be added as an exception to the windows firewall. Because of the way that ClickOnce works, the path to the EXE changes with every update, so the exception needs to change also. What would be the best way to have the changes made to the firewall so that it's invisible to the end user?
(The application is written in C#)
