| It would all depend on how you wanted your program to interact with the computer... If you want it to be able to read the windows Registry, for example, it needs to be able to read & change records in the registry file (though I would pick up a book on Windoes Registry key values beforehand); If you want it to scan the hard drive for particular files, you will need it to be able to do file/folder commands on your directory structure, which is fairly easy to do these days in high-level programming languages, such as Microsoft .Net, etc... If you want the software to diagnose things like the CPU usage, Swap file usage, etc... while the PC is running, you'll want to study up on how Windows System Information can read these values, and how you can access those values for use in your program (which will probably, again, take a decent Windows book); |
