Windows API Jobs

I need a lightweight Windows utility that I can drop onto any PC (USB-portable, no installer) and lock down three specific areas with a single master password: • block any executable I specify, • disable or hide every active sound driver so the system stays silent, • cut all internet connectivity on demand. AskAdmin already covers most of this, but it does not touch audio devices, so that gap is crucial. A simple “Enable / Disable” toggle behind the password is enough—there is no need for multiple user levels or activity reports. Deliverable: a standalone EXE (or similar) that runs on Windows 10 and 11, along with brief usage notes so I can add or remove apps, sound, or network from the block list.

I need a Windows-side DLL that injects into the Left 4 Dead 2 client, hooks the internal routine that prints chat and quietly writes each intercepted line to a .dll log file before handing control back to the game. Required behaviour • Export a single entry point that the injector can call; inside, locate the ShowChatMessage (or equivalent) function, install the detour, and keep a clean pointer to the original. • Hook_ShowChatMessage(text, player, team) must run exactly once per chat event, write the string to the log with an absolute timestamp plus the player’s numeric ID, then invoke the untouched engine call so the on-screen chat still appears. • Log format extension must be “.dll” exactly as specified, one record per line. • No other cli...

I need a lightweight Windows-only .exe that lets me draw directly on the screen while any application is running. The main interface can be a slim sidebar with the classic whiteboard controls—pen (with adjustable size and colour), highlighter, eraser, hand/pan tool, plus undo and redo. Two extra features round it out: • An Import button so I can pull external files straight onto the canvas. I’m open to whichever formats are easiest to implement first; images and PDFs would cover most of my use cases, and we can expand later if it’s straightforward. • A built-in “Open Browser” command. I just need a full browser window to appear inside the app; I haven’t fixed on Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, so use whichever engine integrates cleanly and kee...
