creating my own "desktop.scf"

Today I was trying to restore my old desktop shortcut on taskbar,which I mistakingly removed ,I tried to get it back but all in vaine(I didnt use google till now) I was actually using [start key]+D to get desktop as a short cut,but I wanted that shortcut link back,I saw my other computer to see what was that link cos it is not a usual short cut created by simple right click--->create shortcut thing [as I know till the moment] ,I found that it is not as usual a .lnk file as in every shortcut ,hmm,so it was not a normal shortcut file as I thought so what revealed is that it is a .scf file type and doesnt contain a complicated file contents,so I just created that file followed by dragging it and dropping it into taskbar .The data inside that file was as simple as that :

------------------------------desktop.scf-----------------------
[SHELL]
command=2
iconfile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
----------------------------------------------------------------

well, after searching windows directory I found that there are other .scf files: explorer.scf and view channels.scf ,and here is the data inside them :
----------------------------explorer.scf------------------------
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,1

[Taskbar]
Command=Explorer
----------------------------------------------------------------


and for view channels.scf
--------------------------view channels.scf--------------------

[Shell]
Command=3
IconFile=shdocvw.dll,-118

[IE]
Command=Channels

---------------------------------------------------------------

I dont know how these things are useful,but it was interesting thing I experienced today...
selam and peace my brother :lol:

Greetings miserable peopl

Couple of days ago I figured out a very distinctive way to use stack memory as your own data memory storage ,downsides that it will be a brainfuck to you in building large codes,and another thing each 'push' puts 4 bytes in the stack memory so for large sentences then you need more than one push ! .

;code sample provided by bug-code 2006
;demontrates how you can use stack memory to store some data in

;--------------------------------------------------------------------

.386
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap:none

include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include \masm32\include\user32.inc
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib


.data
db "sample",0

.code

start:
push 0 ;putting zero ended string for MessageBoxA()
push "teel" ;reverse byte oder so it become leet :)
push 0
mov eax,esp
add eax,4
push eax
push eax
push 0
call MessageBox

invoke ExitProcess,0
end start

;---------------------------------------------------------------

the above example to be assembled by using masm32.
