I want to monitor the event of a new Antivirus installation ,
currently what I have in mind is listen to change in the Uninstall registry folder and then compare the new application name with a list of known Antiviruses.
I want to improve it by being more specific , is there other resource I can monitor in order to know when a new Antivirus has installed? for example some registry that new Antivirus have to edit in order to be marked as an active Antivirus etc.
Thank you for your help
Registry is not the best way. The information you want is usually exposed through the WMI.
Since you haven't specify in tags what language you're using, here's the link to the VBScript example. Beware that on 64 bit OSes there're effectively 2 WMIs, 32 bits and 64 bits.
If you want your software to react instantly, WscRegisterForChanges API allows you to be notified when the AV is started or stopped.

Am asking on how to gain administrator privileges in Windows Embedded Standard 7, i have an embedded machine that works with WES7 and i can't access some of the developers needed peripherals in order to perform some developing stuff like : RS323 Port, even more i can't modify some system files in order to control the startup applications or control the kernel, eventually i can't remove some files like : pictures or txt files that i've created before, but i have done this through command prompt, just to remember, am working in C#.
Here i can't access COM port when i try to send data through it :
I have founded the solution : i've stopped the process "Server.exe" in the directory : "c:/data " that have been taking the COM port to control the machine over wifi, and now i can have the full access to the COM port, another thing, i can now modify the system simply by unlocking the hard drive by typing in CMD the command : "fbwfmgr /disable".
+1 Please if it helped :)

I know that it's possible to manually restart only Windows by holding down the Shift key, clicking restart and then the OK button, but is there a way to do this programatically in a .NET app?
I assume you're referring to this microsoft knowledgebase article about restarting windows without restarting the PC - which is also referenced here on wikipedia ?
You'll note that this refers only to windows 95, 98 and ME. It makes sense in that context, as those versions of windows ran on top of MS-DOS, and so I'm assuming that it restarted the windows layer without restarting the DOS layer underneath it.
On later versions of windows, holding the shift key will have no effect, as they don't run on top of DOS. Restarting windows is restarting the whole computer, as there's no "layer underneath it". If you're still using windows 95, 98 or ME... umm... good luck and have a nice life?

Is there a way to access a list of network adapters, check if they have power management options, then change those options.
Example: Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power?
I need to check if the above option is turned on, if so turn it off?
Need a solution or multiple solutions that will work with Windows XP - Win8.1
Briefly, you have to:
Get network adapters list
Get according options from system registry: Adjusting Power Settings in Windows XP SP3 via Registry.
Change them in appropriate order: How to: Create a Key In the Registry (Visual C#).

How does a big key product like those of MSOffices restrict their buyers/users by either the number of its installation times or the number of its installed machines ?
For one software CD, the product are installed and useable via for example 3 licenses, this is activated via provided keys. Why can't I user the same key on 3 machines that are not interconnected ?
For one software CD, the product is sometimes installable only on one machine (no key reference), it will display an error message if I try to install it on another. (the CD isn't rewritable "ekk")
Because the software from Micrsoft requires "activation". In this procedure the software is sending a footprint of the machine together with the software key it is installed on to Microsoft's licence server. In the database of that licence server Microsoft keeps those footprints and a counter, so they can ensure their software isn't activated more often then paid for.

i have 200 terminals (Windows-mobile) that connect to the server Through WIFI
how i can transfer any file to all of them ?
is there any tool or can i get any C# sample code for this ?
thanks in advance
You should write some sw on the mobiles to sink the file instead of pushing on them. So each user can ask the server for transfer the file. If the file you need to transfer is a deploy of an application, you can even consider some strategy of auto upgrade as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446487.aspx
You could create a log-on script assuming you have Active Directory and a friendly system administrator.
http://www.rlmueller.net/LogonScriptFAQ.htm
Microsoft have a non-free tool called System Center Configuration Manager that will do what you want. You need to install the client app on the phones first, then they poll the server for updates.
This is likely to be massive overkill for what you want but it's hard to be sure from the question.
