c# - Where's the wallpaper registry key in Windows 8? -

-

i'm working on tool needs current user's wallpaper path.

on windows 7, can reading

hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\internet explorer\desktop\general\wallpapersource.

on windows 8 installation, key has value

c:\users\peter\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows photo viewer\windows photo viewer wallpaper.jpg

which not wallpaper that's set.

is there other key can rely on?

the key mentioning isn't correct one. sounds me you've placed image desktop background internet explorer, , key opened register it.

the correct key desktop background location is: confirmed on: xp, ce, vista, 7, 8

hkey_current_user\control panel\desktop\wallpaper

details:

  • main key: hkey_current_user
  • sub key: control panel\desktop
  • value name: wallpaper
  • value type: reg_sz
  • value data: full path image being used desktop background

also, under hkey_current_user\control panel\desktop\ find other wallpaper related options apply different styles: center, tile, , stretch.

hkey_current_user\control panel\desktop\wallpaperstyle hkey_current_user\control panel\desktop\tilewallpaper

in order apply styles use following guide:

  1. center

    wallpaperstyle = 0 tilewallpaper = 0

  2. tile

    wallpaperstyle = 0 tilewallpaper = 1

  3. stretch

    wallpaperstyle = 2 tilewallpaper = 0

c++ - Using OpenSSL in a multi-threaded application -

-
i have been writing soap client application in c++ on ubuntu using openssl https transport , pthreads threading. have number of threads - 1 central data acquisition thread periodically gets worker threads make soap requests via shared mutex protected queues. reading documentation openssl found is openssl thread-safe? in openssl faq describes mechanisms required ensure thread safety when using openssl. implemented , works fine. the reason question conceptual difficulty really. thinking implementing same functionality application has already, instead of using threads, create 2 seperate applications : 1 worker thread (of multiple copies running) , main data acquisition thread. use tcp sockets communicate between 2 rather mutex protected queues. may bad idea not important - confusing me would have implement same functions required ensure openssl thread safety in second approach or not? my guess not have , treated independent (indeed surely must many applications use openssl) re...

All overlapping substrings matching a java regex -

-
is there api method returns (possibly overlapping) substrings match regular expression? for example, have text string: string t = 04/31 412-555-1235; , , have pattern: pattern p = new pattern("\\d\\d+"); matches strings of 2 or more characters. the matches are: 04, 31, 412, 555, 1235. how overlapping matches? i want code return: 04, 31, 41, 412, 12, 55, 555, 55, 12, 123, 1235, 23, 235, 35. theoretically should possible -- there obvious o(n^2) algorithm enumerates , checks substrings against pattern. edit rather enumerating substrings, safer use region(int start, int end) method in matcher . checking pattern against separate, extracted substring might change result of match (e.g. if there non-capturing group or word boundary check @ start/end of pattern). edit 2 actually, it's unclear whether region() expect zero-width matches. specification vague, , experiments yield disappointing results. for example: string line = "xx90xx"; strin...
