This is a simple sample in two parts, first project1.vbp is a sample of ADO with text and other types of files. The second part is for reading, writing, adding and editing to a database. This is for people who are looking for simple samples of ADO The ADO through files has to be observed when the code is running becuase it is only meant for tempdata. This has been written for windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000 but it hasn't been tested in only 2000. Be sure to follow the instructions from the readme, there are almost no instructions but the one that I give, the code depends on. Also, the database is in Microsoft Access 97.

When Desktop Protector is activated,it disable all the function keys ( ALT+TAB , ALT+CTRL+DELETE , ALFT+F4 , CTRL+ESCAPE ..... ) and freezes the mouse in the middle of the form...the updated version also hides it from ALL windows OS and set the priority to Realtime for so windows won't allow to close the program...the only way to unlock you windows is to enter the password...if you type the wrong password a msg "Access Denied" appeares and don't leave unless you enter the right password so when you come back to your pc..you can see if anyone tried to unlock it behind your back :).The program also denies to close unless you enter the right password..this is to prevent other programs to close it ..and give access to your pc....( THIS CODE DOESN'T WORK SO WELL FOR WINDOWS XP/NT/200 ).....Have Fun :)

FINALLY! No one did it so I did it myself. This program removes any keys from VB6 project files that VB5 doesnt like and makes it so you can open it in VB5. You may think it's sad that I still use VB5, but it gets the job done. There are about four keys removed so far. If you want to add any or know of any others, please make the changes and e-mail me the key > I will re-upload the file. You can vote if you want to but it is more for the needy than for the points. :p Instructions: Compile the project (my one, not your one ;) ) Click and drag your .vbp file onto the EXE It's that simple!

This little program uses heapalloc, getprocessheap, and heapfree api functions to tell you all your ports (LTP,COM,etc.), what they do, and what type of port they are (See screenshot).
