Today I received an e-mail from Softpedia telling me that they have listed one of my commandline tools, LaunchRDP. I don’t know how they found or why they think that it should be listed, but it’s nice to see that they respect the author and informed me. If you want to rate it, here’s your chance!

I was contact by Danila Galimov a while ago because he was working with my JwaWinsta unit. Together we were able (and are still working on) uncovering more of the undocumented API’s in winsta.dll.

 We found several new classes for WinStationQueryInformationW that return lots of information:

• The user’s password (under special circumstances).
• The Windows Product ID (server and client’s).
• Client Info such as Timezone information.

We got the following API’s working:

• WinStationGetAllProcesses
• WinStationGetTermSrvCountersValue (“QWinsta /Counter”)
• WinStationFreeGAPMemory
• WinStationSendMessage
• WinStationCloseServer
• WinStationDisconnect
• WinStationReset
• WinStationShutdownSystem

Further testing is needed to determine if the functions work on different OS versions and produce the same results.

There were 2 ways (known to me) of extending Windows XP to offer mulitple concurrent Terminal Sessions. One with the RC1 version of XP SP2 and one that patches Winlogon and Termsrv.dll. The latter offers not only multiple sessions but also multiple sessions under the same account and sessions to the local machine.

Seems like the someone hacked Windows Vista Terminal server too by patching Termsrv.dll. Read more at source.

I was curious how many times my posts are viewed. So I installed this plugin which was made by Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan. If you use WordPress take a look at his other plugins, there are some good ones there!

Google has added imap support to GMail. This means you can use an e-mail client like Outlook (Express) to read your mail but you don’t have to download and store them locally. Read more here. The Storage Limit has been raised to 4 GB (at time of writing 4569 MB)
