my project is for pc security i change some values
in registry like in system policies i hide ihe icon from
the desktop
butto take effect i must restart or log off
but i need to make it take effect now but how i need to hide icon by one click on show it by another
To restart or log off the computer, use the ExitWindowsEx api function.
To hide an icon, use the SetAttr statement to hide a program.Code:Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32.dll" _
(ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long
EWX_FORCE = 4
EWX_LOGOFF = 0
EWX_REBOOT = 2
'Reboot
Dim retval As Long
retval = ExitWindowsEx(EWX_REBOOT Or EWX_FORCE, 0)
If retval = 0 Then Msgbox "Error: Cannot reboot!", vbCritical
'Log Off
Dim retval As Long
retval = ExitWindowsEx(EWX_LOGOFF Or EWX_FORCE, 0)
If retval = 0 Then Msgbox "Error: Cannot reboot!", vbCritical
Code:'A program
SetAttr "C:\Program.exe", vbHidden
'Your program
SetAttr App.Path & "\" & App.EXEName & ".exe", vbHidden
no
i want to apply settings without restarting maybe
by using api
help me
no!
I can't help you, but I can give you a tip.
Be kind to people who try to help you (read: Matthew Gates) by at least saying "Thanks for the help but...", not "no I want this or that", and if you're inpatient don't say "Help me" (it's more like an order then a question) but say "I'm desperate, please help me!" :p
Anyway, you will be much more appriciated (read: helped) if you are kind to people...
I don't think there is any API function that can do this. Only because, when you change something important, Windows restarting is a must. Because it saves the settings when Windows exits and once it restarts, it reads the new information.
