The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Read PasswordComplexity PasswordHistorySize and similar values from the register.

Asked by paulb314 in Windows Network Security

Tags: passwordcomplexity

I am trying to read certain security values from the Windows XP registery.  I want to do this in Visual Basic 6.0.  The values that I am trying to read are listed below and the problem that I am having is that I do no know their exact key path in the registry.  What is the exact path for these paths, where might I find these paths, or what library of functions may I use to read them?  I have come across the RSOP functions.  Do these work in Visual Basic 6.0?  I don't want to use .NET

I am new to this so I dont know how many points to assign to this but I will make it worth it whatever it takes....
