It's amazing how blind people can be.

The whole startmenu removal is just a decoy. So obvious.

NOT in this life time, not for me. Never!

Developers are jumping ship right and left.

If this trend continues in Windows 9, Windows 8 won't be just another Vista but Microsoft will go the way of IBM. It might already be too late.

I no longer TRUST Microsoft. That is a HUGE issue which Microsoft isn't seeing here.

When your developers are jumping ships, it is the beginning of the end.

But of course, this being Channel 9, the den of unpolite fools, most regulars will never understand it.

The bigger question is not about Win APIs, the question is, is your PC YOURS anymore?

Of course, anything else rather than praises and flowers will be bashed here by the 10-15 regulars hanging in here. Don't expect much from them. Their bags are all empty.

There was nothing logical about your "debate". I was never expecting you to understand my reply to your so called "debate" anyway. My reply there was not directed toward an unwashed fool, like yourself.

YET, even for $500 you are unable to produce a working sample.

Not all projects are simple of course, but MANY are.  You are afraid of outsourcing, that's basically what it comes down to.

Heck, I am too! But it doesn't mean it is always a bad thing. Be objective.

It is a common practice for example in a project where the end goal should not be revealed to the ones building its parts.

Say you want a program to list *.txt files. Open a file on a click and then print it.

One programmer makes the listing function. Another makes the open file function and the third creates a print function which eats a file content or file name.

The project is then easy to setup. Faster than when only one guy doing it.

ps. Thank you for being civil unlike most of the other filthy ones around. One of them even followed me here http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=8 trying to prevent others to help me. How is that for a Channel 9 "experience"? Clearly shows what kind of people are hanging around here. Probably that's why 90% of the posters here are same ones year in and year out. Pretty sad.

The final code is most likely simple as long as you know HOW to do it. It is not a math problem where you can say "You are too stupid to solve this.". This issue has to do with poor documentation on MSDN and no source code samples.

It is proven specially when some of you suggest $500 is too low for this according to yourselves "simple" "tiny" issue.

Even a foreach-loop is complex is you do NOT know how to do it nor have ANY good documentation for it.

I have been a developer since the 1990s, I'm not a total noobie. I used to eat Assembly lunch. If this issue was simple, you guys would paste the code here already. Why don't you ask all others who post questions in Tech Off to pay you $$$ and nag about how $500 is too low.

First it's too simple to solve, now the price is too low.

The reason for $500 for this "simple" issue is that I have no time to solve it myself. It is a side project. Has nothing to do with my work and I am not in school or something like that. I'm probably older than most of you.

Most of you are just pathetic to watch.

@evildictator: you seem to be the only "reasonable" people around and actually trying to help. I did not even think about using vWork or sites like that because panic paying people for small problem solving is a rather "normal" thing to do in many, shall we say FRIENDLIER places. I thank you for your help.

I have done it for years and years and Channel 9 is the only and only place where people call me names, tell me to "grow a pair" ( wtf? ) for asking specific code related help and putting up money for getting help a little quicker.

Every other person I emailed directly have been most respectful to me, most helpful and been putting hours to help me WITHOUT even asking for money EVEN WHEN I OFFERED THEM. They failed to solve this, however.

Bear in mind, I HAVE solved this working in Windows 7 x64 but it will not work in Windows 8 for some reason.

Not all of you of course but most of you who jump on me for asking for help IN A PROGRAMMING TECH FORUM are just sad stories, unpolite and absolute lowest of the low.

You not only lack technical skills to help, even for $500, but you just insult people when they ask for help. Pathetic creatures. If there was on ounce of shame in you, you would be melting to Earth's core by now.

You might put on $1000 clothes but lowest of the low, is what you are no matter how you dress that pig.

Filth, absolute filth is what I see here in Channel 9.

You can give me an encryped exe file, I run it in my virtual machine and see if it works if you doubt me. I can pay you half now, half later. We can use a middle man, for love of the creator... I NEED HELP.

Thank you.

Atleast you are not being evil! hehe

ps. I know $500 might be low for you guys but it's A LOT of money for me.

Did you even read what that guy "JohnAskew" wrote? You call me the one with attitude? This place is by far the most unpolite place I have been. The difference is the places where people are unpolite, they have atleast the knowledge. Most people here are just full of it and nothing else.

Regarding sysinternals, I guess you are right. Thank you for the help.

I am aware of that site but I came here because people say you guys are all that! I thought this is where good programmers hang. Perhaps I was mistaken. People here seem rather unfriendly, unpolite and down right insulting in my humble opinioon.

But that is OK. It is OK to be insulting, elitist but so far, I  have only seen talk and no action. None of you could solve the issue but just point me to MSDN.

I offer you $500 and I just get insult back.

That is just weird.

You are very unpolite and pretty insulting.

I do not even know what you mean by something like "3) Lack of respect for such a cry-baby approach to work. Do it yourself, man, show some self-respect. Grow a pair, PeterDouglas."

Why would I be here asking for help if I COULD DO IT? You all claim it's so simple but none of you can show a working sample. You seem to have a big pair yourself, how about showing a working sample? AND earning $500 on top of it. After all, you claim it's so simple!

"5) Why aren't you a big shot? If you aren't one then why come here?" When did I say I am a big shot? I am NOT. I COULD NOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO I CAME TO THE BIG SHOTS HERE. Atleast that is how the word goes but it seems that people are wrong about you.

Email me bank wire transfer information and you will receive the money. Give me your word you can do it. That is all I need.

I can also send the money to any Microsoft employee who hangs out in here, he/she can hold the money until you make the job.

Good enough for you?

It must work under Windows 8 x64. Be compilable in C# and Visual Studio.
