How can i disable explorer.exe from startup?
(need it to boost my only-gaming pc)
Thanks!
EDIT :
I need to diable explorer.exe, the game starts automatically on startup!
If i want explorer back, i can simpely press: Cntrl + Alt + Del, start Task Manager, Click on New Task, and type: "explorer.exe", it should work like that.
EDIT 2:
To make it On Topic, Maybe i can do this with an Batch-file?
I dont know enough of .bat files for making one, what i need to write in the batch-file?
In Windows, explorer.exe is the main file manager application that is required for the windows gui to function. Theoretically, there is a way to navigate your files (e.g., in order to open up your games) through the command line, though I believe that you will need explorer as the parent process for many of the popular games. Someone who has access to the MSDN would be able to tell you more definitively.
Long story short, unless you are booting into command line mode, explorer.exe will load on startup.

I have written a basic VB winform application (in visual studio) that control the lights. I published and create an install package so I can install this on other PCs.
My questions is how to sync these applications to communicate with one another so if I turn a light on, on one PC, other PC will sense that and display it on thier application.
I can use timer to see if there are any action every 15 second, but I don’t think this is efficient way.
Take a look at this question that involves sending information between computers over a network. You could have the program send what it did to the lights so that the other programs can update themselves.
I'd suggest you look at writing the status to a file accessible to all on the network, use the filewatcher class to detect changes to the file, and when the file changes read it from all PCs to see the current status of everything.

another option would be to use UDP broadcasting

I am trying to simulate some clicking on a flash control on a window belonging to another executable using the AutoIT COM Object.
Since it is a long-running script I'd like to keep the system usable by normal (read: physical) means meanwhile. I first taught of a virtual machine, then I remembered that WndProc hooking exists.
Now I'd like to simulate clicks with fake WM_* messages instead of using AutoIt because it hijacks the mouse, in order to be able to run the automation in background without the mouse moving by itself and my current active window (i.e. notepad) losing focus.
My problem is that I have no idea on how to achieve the WndProc hooking in Vb.Net. People says a Dll injection is needed but in my previous Realbasic experience I did it in plain win api.
(To write messages I don't know, but to read worked.)
Ps. I've checked and no similar question seems to address this (at least in vb.net).

Most process-monitoring software can show CPU(s) load by application in real-time.
But I can't find anything that could show me real-time Disk(s) usage by applications (hard disks, CDs/DVDs, flash drives, etc.).
There is program AnVir Task Manager that can show harddisk load but it shows it at all not by each app or process.
On the other side there is utility from Sysinternals called Filemon (now Process Monitor) that shows all activity with filesystem (reading/writing files) with processes and paths but this information is too verbose.
I think I'm looking for software that can show me the table like below:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Process | Disk Usage (%) | Disk/Partition | Some info.. |
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
uTorrent.exe | 68 | Harddisk1/Partition0 | blah-blah-5 |
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
Applic-9.exe | 17 | Harddisk1/Partition1 | bloh-bloh-5 |
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
Please, tell if you know that kind of software.
from here:
You can view the IO usage in the system tray using Process Explorer by enabling "Options->I/O History Tray Icon".
Hover over the icon, and it will tell you which app is using the most IO right now.

I was editing a file over SSH when my computer crashed and I got the BSOD. I was SSHing through Putty. I would really like to recover if possible. I don't know if there is anyway to restore the SSH session and save from there. Any help would be appreciated.
No, there is no way to restore your session, unless you used something like screen.
But there might be a way to restore your file, but that depends on the editor you used. Editors like Vim and Emacs store the changes of unsaved files, and will notify you the next time you open the file.
Thus all you have to do in this case is open the same file again. In other cases the changes might just be gone.

Say I forget to run screen at the beginning of login, I've started up a program like emacs, have many files open, now I want to attach this to a session of screen. Is there any way to do this? Or do I have to exit emacs, run screen, then run emacs again, opening up my work from the beginning?
Thanks for your help.

reptyr works if you're on linux
I don't believe this is possible - your emacs session is a child process of your shell, and I believe that a secure OS is pretty strict about making changes to the process tree from outside the process.
