There is a new example in the JEDI API trunk folder. It’s about Session Notification of Windows Terminal Service. It really easy to understand and use. The main purpose of session notification is to slow down CPU consumption or GUI drawings of applications. If a user locks the computer, she won’t see nice drawings or [...]

Let me know when your browser has the shown count of opened tabs regarding security API stuff. Unfortunately there were much more opened tabs but I had to close them since it slowed down startup of my FF 2. Btw. I’m using the TabMixPlus addon, if you’re curious.

After making some changes to the A-records of the DNS servers responsible for *.delphi-jedi.net, a different host was queried by the clients (e.g. your browsers) for the contents of this blog. Obviously the other host didn’t know how to react and thus gave back a simple “no idea what file that is” (i.e. HTTP error [...]

If you want to use CreateProcess or CreateProcessAsUser and you also want to set the target desktop, you should make sure that the target winstation (usual winsta0) and desktop name (usual default) is spelled correctly.
