    small Diag app ideas....

    Hi all,

    I would like to implement an application that will return some diagnostic information of the pc. Ideally i would like it to be run on some client machines on a network to display info such as:

    - Local admins
    - Disk Drives and space available (maybe &#37
    - CPU speed and type
    - RAM size and amount used
    - Last user logged on maybe?

    I guess it would be a series of simple reads from data held on the local machine. Also from some research i gather that i need to access the registry to get info like CPU type and speed.

    Can anyone steer me in the right direction, with maybe an example of a statement to return one of these pieces of data, or explain what to do to obtain them?

    Sorry if i was a bit vague, thanks in advance.

    PS i would like preferable use C, C++ or java for this application

    thanks
