Re: [python-win32] Detect whether a workstation is a laptop or desktop/server?

Not sure exactly, but perhaps you could distinguish whether the battery is connected via USB or some other transport method? Looking through the device manager there seem to be some fields that might be relevant. As a network admin, I've used a free software called Spiceworks in the past that scans

which negates the need for a quicklaunch anyway. 5) Make your quicklaunch bar smaller, and use the little double-arrow-menu as a pop-up quicklaunch instead of having all icons showing. Some of those might be helpful, some not. Steven James On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 12:20 PM, Randy Syring wrote: &

Not an expert on this, but googling "win32 performance counters" led me here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373193(VS.85).aspx Should let you get the available physical memory in the system. Not sure that you can specify to Windows that you want physical memory when you create the imag

Re: [python-win32] How to calc amount of avail RAM in a process ?

For the display of bitmaps, most apps take the approach of creating (sometimes multiple) low-res versions of the images, then swapping out so that only what you need at the moment is loaded in to memory. For instance, create a 50x50 version, a 100x100 version, and a 500x500 version. Only load the 5
