Windows XP File Assocation Fixes

Windows XP File Assocation Fixes: "Windows® XP File Association Fixes
Copyright 2003 - Doug Knox

The files listed here are all ZIP files, which contain a REG (Registry) file. Download the ZIP and open it. Extract the REG file to your hard disk and double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad. Each of the REG files contains the default settings for the file extension indicated. For the ZIP file fix, the download is a REG file, since ZIP's aren't working anyway!

NOTE: If your EXE file associations are corrupted, it can be difficult to open REGEDIT, or to even import REG files. To work around this, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager. Once there, click File, then hold down the CTRL key and click New Task (Run). This will open a Command Prompt window. Enter REGEDIT.EXE and press Enter.
Thanks to Nigel Andrews for this tip."

Defragment Boot Files In Windows XP.

Defragment Boot Files In Windows XP.: "Defragment Boot Files In Windows XP.

XP's defragmenter can perform a boot defragment, placing all boot files contiguous to one another so that XP boots faster. The boot defragment option is usually enabled by default, but there's a possibility that it has been disabled, or not properly enabled. If it's not working, chances are XP will boot slow.

To enable it:

1. From a command line or from the Run line, run regedit. This opens the Registry Editor.
2. Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the folder path \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction.
3. Find the string Enable.
4. If the string value is set to N, change it to Y. If it is Y, leave it as it is, since that means boot defragmentation is enabled.
5. Exit the Registry and reboot. When you next defragment your disk, the boot files will be defragmented too."

Dejaclick: A Web Activity Recording & Bookmarking Tool (Firefox)

Dejaclick: A Web Activity Recording & Bookmarking Tool (Firefox): "Ever ordered something from, say, eBay and then patiently refreshed the courier company’s website every few hours to figure out the current location of your package?

Is logging into your three email accounts the first thing that you do after switching on your computer? Are you tired of entering the usernames and passwords each time?

We tend to perform a lot of repetitive tasks using our computers and for that reason most professional desktop software such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop have long supported macros – a activity recording of the series of steps required to perform a given task that can be saved and called (played) later at will.

Dejaclick brings the same functionality to webpages. It is a web recording utility for Firefox."

This is one sweet program. Turn on the recorder, do your think, save script in recordings folder. I use it for log ins to sites that require passwords, etc.

Wuala - Secure Online Storage - Backup. Store. Share. Access Everywhere.

Wuala - Secure Online Storage - Backup. Store. Share. Access Everywhere.
Wuala is definitely one of the most under-reported start-ups, and there’s no good reason for that. It takes the best features out of both Dropbox and Mozy to create a must-have online file storage service for anyone with a computer.

Developed by Dominik Grolimund and Luzius Meisser, the technology behind Wuala is truly amazing. By using a ‘grid’ algorithm, Wuala can take advantage of unused disk space across its network of users in addition to data-centre storage. This keeps Wuala’s costs down, because there is no need to buy space in data-centres and it also makes their service incredibly attractive to newcomers who need online file storage.

If you’re not convinced, why not go check out the demo account? Visit Wuala, click on the red START button, and login with the username John and password asdasd. Let us know your impressions in the comments.

Windows 7 has lots of ‘GodModes’ - Aviran’s Place

Windows 7 has lots of ‘GodModes’ - Aviran’s Place: "Given the Vista issues, though, I would try these only on a Windows 7 machine, ideally a test machine. To make it work, create a new folder with any name, then a period, then one of the text strings below.

For example, the first one could be a folder named “thankscnet.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}” (use everything inside quotes–but not the quotes themselves).

Here’s the list of strings:

{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}
{0142e4d0-fb7a-11dc-ba4a-000ffe7ab428}
{025A5937-A6BE-4686-A844-36FE4BEC8B6D}
{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
{1206F5F1-0569-412C-8FEC-3204630DFB70}
{15eae92e-f17a-4431-9f28-805e482dafd4}
{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966}
{1D2680C9-0E2A-469d-B787-065558BC7D43}
{1FA9085F-25A2-489B-85D4-86326EEDCD87}
{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}
{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
{241D7C96-F8BF-4F85-B01F-E2B043341A4B}
{4026492F-2F69-46B8-B9BF-5654FC07E423}
{62D8ED13-C9D0-4CE8-A914-47DD628FB1B0}
{78F3955E-3B90-4184-BD14-5397C15F1EFC}

And, as a reminder, to create the Godmode folder itself, use this string:

{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"
