Piracy is a big threat for all programmers. One of the preventional steps followed is to let program run on only a particular harddisk. If the user copies the program or even compies complete harddisk to any other computer our program should not run. But how can it be done. Obvoiusly by allowing our program to run on Drive with a particular serial no. Software checks the particular serial no each time it is executed. And if the serial no is not the same, the software doesnt execute any further. So here I have tried to make a program that simpy reads the Serial No of any Drive. And yes ! the code is very little, well commented and easy to understand ! Plz Vote if you like ! And also your suggestions are most valuable for me...

Teaches you how to auto-scroll a richtextbox, but it accounts for the vertical scrollbar. If the user has the scrollbar moved up, or at the top, it does not scroll down and stay at the bottom. This is very usefull for logging windows or chat windows. There is no code to do this on PSC. I would like to thank BillSoo from www.visualbasicforum.com for his help in solving this. He gave me the initial code and sent me in the right direction. After fixing it, here it is for everyone to use. This is just a little demo, the timer runs every second adding a line to the box, just watch it go and then play with the scrollbar, it only scrolls down if its already at the bottom.
