Hi friends!

I have an app with to parts, Server.exe and Terminal.exe (Client). All clients have the specific paths of server (\\someplace\c\cybercafe) to write and read from tables and from the answers, can generate some response. Everything is working fine, and the idea it´s to keep the user´s account at an Internet rent cafe.

The server only works local, never networking. All clients reach the server and had a code for ID; this code exists in a local table too (placed at C:\cybercafe).

The trouble comes when you need to format a PC, very common at this place, or when yo try to change the user. The program wasn´t design with this specific requeriment.

Now, what I need is to change or delete the users from server PC (it could be another program, no problem). I know where are the tables I need to change for Server.exe. But at this point, I had 2 big questions.

1.- How can I determine the computers on the network without write the entire path for terminals? (Don´t forget that always default dir is C:\Cybercafe).
2.- Once I´ve found the path, how can I know if terminal.exe is running or not from the server?

TIA!
