I thought I was not gonna find this again. It had been a while since last used this. While in Vista I didn't install this and after went back to Windows XP I had the need of this again. Download Unlocker

I was amazed to see the checkBox was not positioned properly.

A bit more than a year passed since Vista installed. Actually this is the first time I have survived more than a year without formatting. However there are some annoying problems. 1. The shortcuts in the start menu for Office applications do not work. When you click on them nothing happens. 2. If you reboot the PC you have to rebooted several times again and perhaps also reboot the router, just to get the internet working again. Otherwise you will have timeouts. 3. Whenever problem 2 happens the songs played pause every 20 or 30 seconds fcuking up the listening experience. 4. Whenever problem 3 happens the mouse freezes for about half a second fcuking up the mouse movement. 5. Mozilla Firefox installers have fcuked up the hyperlink clicking in Office Outlook emails. If you click on a hyperlink in an email you get the error: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. 6. CD Bank Cataloguer ha

This Office Outlook error has driven me nuts. The damn thing is not even spelt properly: canceled. This happens usually when you uninstall a Mozilla Firefox Beta in order to install a later build of it. No rock solid solution yet found.

I just learnt that Windows Live ID has added a huge new feature, the ability to link multiple IDs together and switch between them by just clicking an arrow. If you have more than one Windows live ID, go to account.live.com and link them together, linking multiple (at least four, maybe more accounts). Then, in newer Live Wave 2 products, you can hit a drop-down arrow to switch between accounts, without logging out and back in again. Of the big authentication systems, only Windows Live has enabled this feature, which now makes using their ID systems a whole lot easier (instead of a big pain). Out of necessity, I have two Live IDs, one linked to my ten year old Hotmail account, one to my domain email, and now I can safely use both. For now, you get it on Live hotmail, plus Live Home, Live Spaces and SkyDrive (according to Jamie below) to switch between email accounts, and it should be expanded to more Live services soon.

Windows Vista Business/Ultimate Users: To get to the configuration screen for this, type in security to the start menu search box. You should see the Local Security Policy as the top search item. In the Local Security Policy window, browse down to Local Policies Security Options Over in the right hand part of the window, scroll down near the bottom and find the item titled "User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation" Double-click on the item, and change it to disabled and then click OK. Note: This does make your system slightly less secure, so be warned.   Windows Vista Home Users: For Windows Home users, you will need to open up regedit via the start menu search box. Browse down to this registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem] You should see a key called PromptOnSecureDesktop.

I was really excited about downloading for free and using Visual Studio 2008. The fun only lasted while downloading. When you open a project with VB.NET and C# it brings up this horrific dialog box to choose Application.     It doesn't stop from there. Once you choose an application this error is shown next:     Finally after it loads, the unsupported projects are not loaded and makes the Solution meaning less.     This makes me forced to install Visual Studio 2008 Professional...

I was thinking - it is possible to implement that in iTSfv. Don't know why I didn't think of it before. As simple may it sound, I haven't seen such a validator before. Next build of iTSfv will have iTSfv Lite which will be loaded in the absence of iTunes. iTSfv Lite can be also accessed via Tools > File Validator from iTSfv.   del.icio.us Tags: itsfv

Thought it would be nice to refresh memory on this.   Public There are no restrictions on the use of a class declared as Public.   Private A Private class is accessible only within its "declaration context" including any nested entities. A nested procedure is an example of a nested entity. A Public variable in a Private class is accessible from inside the class, but not from outside that class.   Protected Protected means that elements are accessible only from within their own class or from a derived class . Protected can also be used with the Friend keyword. When they're used together, elements are accessible from the same assembly, from their own class, and from any derived classes.   Friend Friend access means that elements are accessible only within the program. Friend is the default access modifer for any class that does not have a modifier.

  This error has annoyed me a hell lot. It usually happens to me after uninstalling a beta version of Firefox in order to install a later version of it. The Microsoft KB article: You receive an error message when you click a hyperlink in Outlook does not really help much.   However this Doug's VBScript seems to work! fix_internetoptions.vbs - Disable/Enable Set Internet Options in Win95/98   You really have to log off and log on again to see it working.

You might ask what's so hard about that. If you have about 10 movies to extract, especially when some of those are 2 disks so that you have CD1 and CD2 as sub-folders, you will realize how time consuming it is. According to the way I organize my movies, I keep the CD1, CD2 and Sample (if exists) video files in a new folder of the movie name. I copy the NFO file there as well. So I needed a tool to automatically do this for me with a simple drag & drop. You can try it out yourself http://wmwiki.com/mcored/downloads/ExtractorX
