How to selectively disable specific Autorun features
To selectively disable specific Autorun features, you must modify the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value under the following registry key subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
How you modify this subkey depends on the Autorun feature that you want to disable. For more information about Autorun registry key values, visit the following Microsoft TechNet Web page:

WSAStartup 無法解析的外部符號

使用"WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 2), &wsaData)"時遇到問題，
出現了"imp__WSAStartup@8 error LNK1120: 1 個無法解析的外部符號"，
在http://www.diybl.com/course/3_program/c++/cppsl/2008315/104702.html裡找到了解決方法，
原來是沒有加入ws2_32.lib，
在最上面的選項中按專案 -> '專案名稱'屬性 -> 組態屬性 -> 連結器 ->命令列 裡面的"其他選項"
輸入ws2_32.lib就可以加入了！


hostent與gethostbyname function(或gethostbyaddr function)搭配使用，
不僅可以知道IP address和domain name，
還可知道address的type、長度、別名(同樣可連到此網站的另一個domain name)。
WSAGetLastError可判斷發生何種錯誤，若回傳值為0，則沒有錯誤。

merge - three-way file merge

• merge [ options ] file1 file2 file3
