all stated from this question:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Pascal/Delphi/Q_23102229.html

this allows you to register your won protocol (not the default http://, but even “blabla://”) and your whatever namespaces. so you coul dhave in the same program
blabla://res_name/res_name
and
blabla://res_id/res_id
and
etc://whatever/something

of couse, the code requires a little modification in order to support the above stuff, but the modifications are basic/easy level.

Moving/Transferring Windows XP Prof from desktop to laptop

Monday, January 7th, 2008

I finally did it. I moved my winxp porf installation from my desktop to my new laptop, overwriting theexisting vista installation (which sucks big time. Almost nothing from my existing NEEDED appications didn’t work properly.).
And here is how I’ve done it:
First step: http://www.infopackets.com/channels/en/windows/gazette/2002/20020507_how_to_transfer_windows_onto_a_new_machine.htm
After removing all possible devices, I made a ghost image (using the bootable ghost cd) and transferred the image to the laptop and then written the image to the disk. Rebooting failed as windows went into BSOD. Booting into safemode did not help either as it BSOD-ed as well.
Next step: http://www.theeldergeek.com/replace_motherboard.htm
Well, I had a faulty windows installation, right? So, I fixed it using the recommendations above.
This worked 🙂
However, my avg complained of faulty license; needed to reinstall. Msn live messenger or what’s it’s name also complained about some fixed module and required restart.
Some of the older devices were still there. Removed them and installed the new ones.
I’m still in the process now, so if there will be any other applications that will require "something extra", I’ll post later on.
