Hi All,

I would like to learn how to get system info to display in a pub window. I have been pointed to the Registry and Dll files . Where do i find Dll files i can incorporate into my pubs , is there a site that offers such sharing ?

One way is to launch the system info file by using the launch file command.



The EXE which gives the system info is:- MSINFO32.exe which should be found at C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache.
if you use the switch -----/report C:\TEMP\test.txt
it will create a text file called test.txt in the temp directory which will have the system info. this could be opened in opus.

It takes about 2 minutes to complete this operation, so not ideal

Now thats cool ,

It would be neat to show info like

IP Address
Cpu
and other information like that , I know in other programs that it can be done i just would like to know the process to do this so i can use this data to teach some of my students how to apply the information recieved..

For the full information on how to use the System Information Switches see Microsoft Support http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300887
You can be selective about which information you 'extract' so you could have different buttons for different categories.


A lot of the information may also be available in the registry. This would be an easier way--- to read the registry key.
