A mechanism is provided that allows an application program to write, as a single file, a large block of data comprising multiple portions that could otherwise be written as several smaller files, then to access, as individual files, each of the portions within the large block of data, and to be able to create individual files efficiently out of each of these subfiles. The mechanism may be partially embodied in a file system that includes an information store defining each file on a volume. The application program writes, via the file system, a single file to the volume as (preferably) a contiguous block of data. The single file includes two or more separable streams of data capable of being stored as individual files (subfiles). Once the single file is written to the volume, multiple entries are made to the information store. Each entry defines and points to a subfile within the single file.

An integrated network and method for managing cached connections are provided. The integrated network includes one or more Web server clients in communication with one or more data servers that allow the Web server clients to request data over a communication channel. To facilitate repeated data requests, an individual Web server client requests that one or more communication channels be cached. The data server processes the Web server client request based on varying criteria. Upon the instantiation of a cached connection, both the Web server client and the data server may maintain the cached connections.

A method and system for ordering software modules in a guaranteed order for execution. Unique values are statically assigned to software modules (e. g. , filter drivers) when fully developed. Each module's assigned value determines its relative position to other modules in a stack or other arrangement, fixing the execution order for any set of filter drivers. Static values may comprise floating-point numbers, whereby each new software module may be assigned a number that enables positioning it between any two existing software modules. For example, filter drivers may be generally classified and assigned values in a range according to type. Drivers of the same type may be ordered within their general range to guarantee one possible ordering. A filter manager architecture is described, in which filter drivers register with a manager for relevant file system I/O operations. The manager calls appropriately registered filter drivers in an order based on their assigned numbers.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for extending non-volatile storage at a computer system. In some embodiments, a file operation is performed on at least one shadow copy of a file that is perceived by an application to be stored on a single volume. A plurality of shadow copies of a file can be accessed using durable file identifiers that are durable across changes to other file characteristics. It is indicated back to the application that the file operation was performed on the file perceived to be stored on the single volume. Storage capabilities are enhanced through migration and/or replication of files to newly added volumes.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for using directory historical data to facilitate automated file updates. A pair of directories is updated, for example, synchronized, with one another. Directory historical data, such as, for example, previous contents of the directories, is utilized to determine what file operations are to be performed during an update. User-selectable update modes can also be used to further configure what file operations are performed during an update.

In a single machine that has entities running in an untrusted environment and entities running in a trusted environment, the trustworthiness of the entities in the trusted environment is projected to the entities in the untrusted environment. This is applicable, for example, to Microsoft's Next Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB), where a regular operating system (e. g. , the Windows operating system) hosts a secure operating system (e. g. , the nexus).

A trusted data store is provided for use with a trusted element of a trusted operating system on a computing machine. In the trusted data store, a storage medium stores data in a pre-determined arrangement, where the data includes trusted data from the trusted element of the trusted operating system on the computing machine. An access controller writes data to and reads data from the storage medium, and a trust controller is interposed between the computing machine and the access controller. The trust controller allows only the trusted element to perform operations on the trusted data thereof on the storage medium.

A computer-implemented system is provided that facilitates implementation of a voice over IP (VOIP) application. The system includes a host system and a user interface (UI) host process residing on the host system. The system also includes an agent host process residing on the host system which is being configured to process a VOIP call received by one or more VOIP applications executable on the host system. The agent host process running as a foreground or background process for the duration of the VOIP call to (i) communicate with a VOIP server associated with the VOIP application, (ii) capture content from at least one input device associated with the host system and (iii) render content on an output device associated with the host system when an instance of the UI host process operates in the foreground.
