We have digitally signed one of our activex component (dll) using thawte code signing certificate for microsoft autheticode. We packaged this dll in a MSI which is an IE browser tool. When we install this MSI the dll file will be placed into the GAC and when we activate the button placed in IE tool it calls the functions in the dll using activex object. Eventhough the dll is digitally signed when we call this we are getting the following error:

Automation server can't create object

Do you want to continue running the script on this page?

If we change the IE security setting "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting" to 'Enable' then it is working and calling the activex object.

But we think it should work even without enabling the above option as it is digitally signed.

Can any one help us in resolving this issue and guide us if we are doing anything wrong. Also please provide us the documentation to digitally sign DLLs and MSI.

Thanks & Regards,
Satish CH.

Taking pressure off email server in sending large attachment, Detour handles attachment delivery of any file size on behalf of the email application in a unified user interface. It has two components: (1) Detour Attachment Plug-in, which acts as an agent for email client, handling the attachment delivery request; and (2) Detour Attachment Server, which performs the actual attachment delivery. Users just send and receive files of unlimited size exactly the same way as they used to do with their email application through the Detour plug-in. The Detour Attachment Server will handle monitoring and management of the file process behind-the-scene. File security and privacy, flexibility and regulation, seamless integration and easy management - all these can be achieved at fingertip.

As time goes by, clever people discover other possibilities for, in this case, the Wiimote. With some dedicated software you can turn it into a PC device, impersonating the standard mouse.

I made this little program, it tweets your currently playing track from Spotify to Twitter

I will be happy for all the feedback that I can get.

Project's official page @ http://alifanov.net/twNowplaying/

Page @ SoftPedia http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Other-AUDIO-Tools/twNowplaying.shtml

Please note that this version requires .NET Framework 3.5

Later versions will add support for twittering your currently playing track from Last.fm and WMP

Attached is the Setup including source for VS 2005

If you find any bugs or improve on it, let me know – ta.

Hope you find it useful, Ant

As we defined some help, we can get automatic Usage and Help.  Usage looks like so:
V:\MyConsoleApp\bin\Debug>myconsoleapp -?

Usage:
MyConsoleApp [-W boolean] [-Name string]

Parameters:
W         - Starts app in windows mode.
Name      - Name of user to find.

Note: For detailed help, use -??, -h, or -help.


Detailed help would look like:
V:\MyConsoleApp\bin\Debug>myconsoleapp -??

This project uses classes that model the memory blocks that can easily implemented on chips for embedded systems.

The challenge is to define the classes and memory contents such that C code can be executed in the fewest clock intervals when converted to hardware.  This leads to  need for the classes that represent state machines to hace a clock method that controls the state changes and for a scheme to make it appear that all state machines operate in parallel.

They are still snickering over at the CoffeeHouse where I started a thread "A New Architecture for Embedded Processors".

So here is what I have working so far.  Included in the zip is a text cEx1 that is simple C code that should be opened when the app shows the open file box.  the first step generates the ram loads and then asks whether to run the sim step.  That produces a wave form showing some of the state changes.  Clicking on the Cycle by cycle button shows a list box where the C sequence is shown.

There is still work to do with testing and function additions pending.  My claim is that any available processor woul take many more cycles to execute the sequence.

All variables are treated as uint types and function calls have to be added.

Couldn't pin your folder in Win7 task bar? Use this app. It is basically a pinable app pointing to any folder as you desire. You can create more miniWE with different ID to prevent miniWE grouped by Win7 taskbar as well.

Update: v3.0.0.15 is a lot more responsive, not faster, just more responsive by moving icon loading to photo loading. And you can make it open the folder right away without using my GUI. Meaning it is basically like Folder in a Win98 quick launch bar.
