Another .NET Web Host

Thanks to Belvo for finding this from FindMyHosting

Various cheap plans that run on Windows Server 2003, ASP.NET 1.1, mySQL, etc. Also have media streaming capabilities, some good 3rd party ASP components, etc.

Seems like good bandwidth on the plans.

Replacing What Runs for Exe

Sysinternals.com "Process Explorer" uses this registry key to hijack when you want TaskMgr.exe to run -- it will instead run "procexp.exe"

Looks like this works by telling the OS that you want to run a "debugger" for this exe. In this case, it's not really a debugger, just some *other* exe that you want to run?!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe
Value 0
Name: Debugger
Type: REG_SZ
Data: D:\Hanan\Utils\SysInternals\procexp_2k.exe

keywords: replace exe when it runs
