My new Super-Vista PC is still super-annoying. The "DevKitPro" compiler issue is yet to be solved, so although I like to type things on my new PC, I then have to switch over to the old PC to compile my NintendoDS Homebrew. I currently have RealVNC hooked up, so simply tapping Ctrl-Shift-OddKey (the one beside 1), will switch me between the two PC's, but it's still a pain to have to keep doing that. My question then, is this.. Does anyone know of any way to have an Icon, or Keyboard Shortcut that will cause an exe on a different PC to run ON that PC, as opposed to running on the PC that clicked it? (That way I can have "Make" on standby, and run it on the other PC) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

How did you connect the two computers? via lan?

Yeah, they're directly connected via a standard crossover cable. Nothing fancy. I'm sure it's something simple, but am equally sure that having Vista on this PC and XP on the other will cause hundreds of stupid little issues

Couldn't you use Remote Desktop?

Well, you could always create a little blitz program, to transmit a packet over the network, which would be picked up by the other comp, and then you could use the run command or something to run an app. This would also mean you could customize it to your own needs, however, I'm not brilliant with blitz network commands... -=-=- ''It works, but I'm not sure why it works...'' |

Couldn't you just make a batch file on the other comp. and then use a blitz program to run that batch file?

Is it really worth the trouble of making all of these programs? They all sound a bit too complex for such a small task...

There is another option, where you can get another computer on your network to standby and shutdown and things, the are some feature rich ones for free off the net, depending on what you want. This one only works for shutdown and restart, and is built into windows (support.microsoft.com/kb/317371): Description of the Shutdown.exe Tool Shutdown.exe uses the following syntax: shutdown \\computername /l /a /r /t:xx "msg" /y /c You can use the following switches with Shutdown.exe: • \\computername: Use this switch to specify the remote computer to shut down. If you omit this parameter, the local computer name is used. • /l (Note that this is a lowercase "L" character): Use this switch to shut down the local computer • /a: Use this switch to quit a shutdown operation. You can do this only during the time-out period. If you use this switch, all other parameters are ignored. • /r: Use this switch to restart the computer instead of fully shutting it down. • /t:xx: Use this switch to specify the time (in seconds) after which the computer is shut down. The default is 20 seconds. • "msg": Use this switch to specify a message during the shutdown process. The maximum number of characters that the message can contain is 127. • /y: Use this switch to force a "yes" answer to all queries from the computer. • /c: Use this switch quit all running programs. If you use this switch, Windows forces all programs that are running to quit. The option to save any data that may have changed is ignored. This can result in data loss in any programs for which data is not previously saved. Examples • To shut down the local computer in two minutes and display a "The computer is shutting down" message, use the following line in a batch file or type it at a command prompt, and then press ENTER: shutdown /l /t:120 "The computer is shutting down" /y /c To cancel the shutdown process, type the following line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: shutdown /l /a /y • To shut down and restart a remote computer named "Support," use the following line in a batch file or type it at a command prompt, and then press ENTER: shutdown \\support /r • To schedule the local computer to shutdown and restart at 10:00 P.M., type the following line at a command prompt, and then press ENTER: at 22:00 shutdown /l /r /y /c • To schedule the local computer to shutdown and restart at 6:00 P.M. every weekday, type the following line at a command prompt, and then press ENTER: at 18:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F shutdown /l /r /y /c Also there are a few free ones on the net, but they would require a bit of searching for. However, if these aren't good enough, it would probably be best to make your own, its not too complicated, and for simple features, its very easy it do in blitz. Its only two programs, 100 lines long absolute max (probably) Hope this helps

Meh, I'll fiddle!! But like Shroom says, it's not really worth all the messing about with. I could always just crouch over and hit the other keyboard.. I was just trying to be lazy, is all.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
