The harvest truly is plenteous,
                                                  but the labourers are few.

Below, you will find a few Win32 samples. They are not stylish, they ignore
error handling, they ridicule the principles of OO design; yet they do work,
and maybe you will find one that is useful to you.



 bumpup.awk                     Massages MIDL-generated RPC stubs to fix a
 5 KB, 09-Jul-97                buffer overrun in the RPC runtime
                                libraries.

 checkacl.cpp                   Explores the contents of an NT security
 15 KB, 25-Apr-97               descriptor, down to its smallest
                                components. Checkacl optionally fixes ACE
                                inheritance and writes the SD back to
                                disk.

 dump_ntfs_streams.cpp [Image]  dump_ntfs_streams uses BackupRead() and
 3 KB, 13-Jan-97                BackupSeek() to iterate through all the
                                streams of a given NTFS file and reports
                                name, type, and size for each stream.

 fkill.cpp                      Shows how to use OpenProcess() and
 3 KB, 21-Oct-97                TerminateProcess() to kill a running
                                program. If the user has the
                                SeDebugPrivilege, it is enabled, allowing
                                fkill to kill processes under
                                builtin\system, too.

 is_admin.cpp                   This sample determines whether it is
 2 KB, 03-Nov-97                running with administrative privileges.
                                More precisely, it checks whether the user
                                under which the program was started is a
                                member of the local Administrators group.

 is_svc.txt                     Demonstrates how to find out whether it is
 8 KB, 14-Mar-97                running as a service and, if so, whether
                                it is running under builtin\system or
                                under a vanilla account. Also determines
                                whether the service is running with access
                                to the interactive window station. Kudos
                                to Rohan Phillips!

 lnw.cpp [Image]                This sample demonstrates how to create a
 2 KB, 13-Jan-97                hard, Posix-style, link with the Win32
                                function BackupWrite().

 lsa_lear.cpp [Image]           This sample uses
 4 KB, 14-Dec-97                LsaEnumerateAccountRights() from the LSA
                                API to display the privileges associated
                                with an account. Note that only directly
                                assigned privs are examined; in normal
                                use, a user's privileges are the
                                agglomeration of his and all his groups'
                                rights.

 lu_cpau_gui.cpp                Kindly provided by Chris Novak, this
 14 KB, 19-Sep-97               sample demonstrates how a non-interactive
                                service running as builtin\system
                                ("LocalSystem") uses LogonUser() and
                                CreateProcessAsUser() to run a GUI app on
                                the default desktop of the interactive
                                window station.

 midlbug.zip                    Initially demonstrated old MIDL bugs. Now,
 64 KB, 24-Jun-97               it is the only sample for authenticated
                                RPC that I am aware of.

 nse.c                          Shows the use of NetServerEnum() and
 3 KB, 16-Sep-97                decodes the server flags.

 nue_nqdi.cpp                   Uses NetUserEnum() and
 4 KB, 28-Jul-97                NetQueryDisplayInformation() to retrieve a
                                list of users. NQDI() is also employed to
                                get a list of machine accounts and groups.

 nugg.cpp                       Demos NetUserGetGroups() and its somewhat
 1 KB, 12-Aug-97                odd way of managing memory.

 rb.c                           Reboots Windows NT on the local or on a
 5 KB, 08-May-97                remote machine and demonstrates all
                                options of InitiateSystemShutDown().

 showpriv_getsetcbpriv.cpp      Shows the privileges that the current user
 3 KB, 29-Jul-97                has and then tries to enable the
                                SeTcbPrivilege.

 wnoe_wner.c                    Enumerates the entire network with
 3 KB, 31-Jul-97                WNetOpenEnum() and WNetEnumResource().

 zoomview.zip                   Modified Scribble MFC sample that
 38 KB, 12-Nov-97               demonstrates the use of CZoomView, a
                                modification of CScrollView that allows
                                zooming. Kudos to Thomas Zeisluft for
                                sharing this!
