3 * Dependency Walker. |
|
4 |
|
5 Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows |
|
6 module (exe, dll, ocx, sys, etc.) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of |
|
7 all dependent modules. For each module found, it lists all the functions that |
|
8 are exported by that module, and which of those functions are actually being |
|
9 called by other modules. Another view displays the minimum set of required |
|
10 files, along with detailed information about each file including a full path |
|
11 to the file, base address, version numbers, machine type, debug information, |
|
12 and more. |

|
36 HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run |
|
37 Launches a program automatically when a particular user logs |
|
38 in. This key is used when you always want to launch a program |
|
39 when a particular user is using a system. |
|
40 HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce |
|
41 Launches a program the next time the user logs in and removes |
|
42 its value entry from the registry. This key is typically used |
|
43 by installation programs. |
|
44 HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run |
|
45 Launches a program automatically at system startup. This key |
|
46 is used when you always want to launch a program on a |
|
47 particular system. |
|
48 HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce |
|
49 Launches a program the next time the system starts and removes |
|
50 its value entry from the registry. This key is typically used |
|
51 by installation programs. |
|
52 HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices |
|
53 Launches a service (a standard NT service or a background |
|
54 process) automatically at startup. An example of a service is |
|
55 a Web server such as Microsoft Internet Information Server. |
|
56 HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce |
|
57 Launches a service (a standard NT service or a background |
|
58 process) the next time the system is started, then removes its |
|
59 value entry from the registry. |
|
60 |
|
61 Values to registry on Windows XP can be added by: |
|
62 |
|
63 cmd> reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v run.bat /t REG_SZ /d "path\to\run.bat" |

114 ** OLE. |
|
115 |
|
116 OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) allows embedding and linking to documents and other objects. |
|
117 |
|
118 OLE 1.0 released in 1990, OLE 2.0 released in 1993, in 1994 OLE custom controls (OCXs) were |
|
119 introduced. |
|
120 |
|
121 OLE objects and containers are implemented on top of the Component Object Model. |
|
122 |
|
123 Next release after 2.0 introdused in 1996 and named as ActiveX. |

|
126 |
|
127 ** ActiveX. |
|
128 |
|
129 Faced with the complexity of OLE 2.0 and with poor support for COM in MFC, Microsoft rationalized |
|
130 the specifications to make them simpler, and rebranded the technology as ActiveX in 1996. |

136 ** ATL. |
|
137 |
|
138 The Active Template Library (ATL) is a set of template-based C++ classes developed by Microsoft, |
|
139 intended to simplify the programming of Component Object Model (COM) objects. |

|
142 |
|
143 ** MFC. |
|
144 |
|
145 MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) is a library that wraps portions of the Windows API in C++ |
|
146 classes, including functionality that enables them to use a default application framework. Classes |
|
147 are defined for many of the handle-managed Windows objects and also for predefined windows and |
|
148 common controls. |
|
149 |
|
150 A lightweight alternative to MFC is the Windows Template Library (WTL). |

155 ** WTL. |
|
156 |
|
157 WTL (Windows Template Library) is a free software, object-oriented C++ template library for Win32 |
|
158 development. |
|
159 |
|
160 WTL provides support for implementing various user interface elements, to MDI, standard and common |
|
161 controls, common dialogs, property sheets and pages, GDI objects, and other common UI elements, such |
|
162 as scrollable windows, splitter windows, toolbars and command bars. |
|
163 |
|
164 Most of the WTL API is a mirror of the standard Win32 calls. |

|
201 FAR | Same as far. Identifies an address that originally used the |

|
203 | (default) 32-bit address but may be omitted entirely in many cases. |
|
204 | |
|
205 PASCAL | Same as Pascal. The Pascal convention demanded by Windows |
|
206 | defines the order in which arguments are found in the stack when |
|
207 | passed as calling parameters. |
|
208 | |
|
209 WORD | Unsigned integer (16 bits) |
|
210 | |
|
211 UINT | Unsigned integer, same as WORD |
|
212 | |
|
213 DWORD | Double word, unsigned long int (32 bits) |
|
214 | |
|
215 LONG | Signed long integer (32 bits) |
|
216 | |
|
217 LPSTR | Long (far) pointer to character string |
|
218 | |
|
219 NEAR | Obsolete, previously identified an address value within a 16KB |
|
220 | memory block. |
