Why doesn’t RegSetKeySecurity propagate inheritable ACEs, but SetSecurityInfo...
A customer was updating some code that manipulated registry key security. The old code used the SetSecurityInfo function to update the security, and they observed that the function propagates...

Tree-walking algorithms: Incrementally enumerating leaf nodes of an N-ary tree
Suppose you have an N-ary tree, in which the node operations are Get first child. Get next sibling. Get parent. For example, this type of tree structure may represent a window hierarchy. You also see...

We continue our exploration of algorithms for walking incrementally through an N-ary tree by perform a preorder walk through the tree. Recall that our goal is to follow the red arrows through the tree,...
