General Software Discussion / Open custom Context Menu by double-clicking desktop/explorer

« on: December 16, 2010, 02:33 PM »

I once used a software that extended the context menu upon double clicking on desktop.
In the new context menu, you could see the history of recently visited folders, browse favourite folders, etc.
It had both a free and paid version.

Could someone kindly help me find it?
Thanks.

General Software Discussion / Watching web channels on your TV?

« on: March 11, 2010, 06:49 PM »

Hi,

Currently we have a 'special tv channel' offered by our cable company, which is also available online from jumptv.com.
I was wondering if there was some way I could stream the channel from jumptv to my tv, and cancel it from my cable provider.

I know it's more of a hardware related question; but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,

Is there any way to add custom items (such as a bookmark link) to Firefox's context menu?
I know you can edit the existing items in the menu and organize them using Menu Editor, but I don't seem to find a way to add new items.

Any help is appreciated.

General Software Discussion / How to hide systemtray icons?

« on: January 08, 2010, 01:24 PM »

What's the best way to hide system tray icons forever? Or hide/place them in a way that they don't keep taking up horizontal space?
I am using xp. The default hiding feature is nice, but once in a while when you do need to unhide the icons to see them all, it just takes up quite a bit of you taskbar space.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

General Software Discussion / Mp3 split program that allows for multiple cut-points before execution?

« on: December 02, 2009, 09:41 PM »

Is there an mp3 splitter which lets you define multiple start and end points, so that upon clicking on the execution button, it would create multiple smaller mp3 clips as per the selections? I know of mp3directcut, but afaik, you can define only one selection at a time before outputting it as an mp3 clip.

I am also not looking for time-based splitter where it splits every so minutes. The selections would be done manually. Any ideas?
Thanks.

General Software Discussion / Virtual Drive/Folder on computer that lets you run remote softwares?

« on: November 25, 2009, 08:14 PM »

Hi,
I recently came across Skydrive Explorer, which lets you store, copy, and delete files of upto 50 mb in size onto your Microsoft Skydrive's online storage. This is great, but it doesn't really let me 'open' the file. I could view an mp3 file as if it's in a local folder, but couldn't just play it with my media player - i would have to download it first fully, then work with it.

Is there a similar service/software which lets you not only do the above, but also lets you "run" the file in real time - sort of like streaming of an mp3 file, or running of a portable application, as if it was a file on your computer?
Thanks.

Developer's Corner / TubeChop like site for Mp3 files?

« on: November 20, 2009, 08:30 AM »

[Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question; feel free to move/remove the topic if necessary]

Is there any site that takes in an mp3 link you provide, lets you specify a 'section' of the mp3, and generates a new link of the 'clip' for you to share with others, which they can play online?..much like how tubechop.com works, but it's only for youtube videos; i am looking for the same functionality but for mp3 files.

Thanks a lot.

General Software Discussion / Looking for a Window management software, but can't remember its name. Help?

« on: November 20, 2009, 06:20 AM »

Hi,
I once came across this software (unsure if it was at donationcoder) which would remember the size and position of a given program.
So for example, I could specify a region on the screen for Notepad, as well as its window size and every time I would start notepad, it would open up in that specified region with that particular window size. So basically it would allow a grid-like allocation of space to programs.

Does anyone know what that program is, or any program that does the same?
Thanks.

Find And Run Robot / Search Folders Only?

« on: November 18, 2008, 07:26 PM »

Hello,
I download FARR today, and it's a great program.
So far i have left the settings to its default.
The priority of the folder searching is at the right place when i am looking for something both as a file and folder.
However, sometimes i want to search for folders only.
Is there any way to search for folders only, possibly with an alias?
i.e. if i want to search for all folders called "opera", i type in "fd opera" and it displays only folders named opera (fd as the alias for 'folders only').

Is that possible, or any other method to achieve the same result?
Thanks.
