We used that filter over at Aqua-soft and for an immediate solution to a spamming increase it was great but, overall it generates more work for the administering/moderating the forum.
Good active members are still the best bet and I haven't seen any tech solution that doesn't increase the administrative workload.

No, naturally the first thing I did when I found this out was I went and pirated all their software.  You too? Glad I'm not the only one.  Seriously though they've been really generous to me. It's got to be three years since I bought DesktopX Pro and because of my financial situation they still let me continue to run the updated Betas. Yes, I know they're not the polished versions but, a feather in their cap. It's also a bit encouraging to know that your contributions in their forums and in widget creation is appreciated. In fact I'm actually kicking around the idea of creating a gadget in DesktopX for NANY '09.

If there were a folder on my system that continually got updated w/ shortcuts to folders (including Special Folders) I accessed recently it seems like that might be used toward the end in question, but I don't know of one. Or may be there is some way to apply this app appropriately that I'm not seeing...
Yeah, hadn't noticed that Special Folders aren't put until after I attached it to the context menu using Fast Explorer (just for fun). Definitely a useful idea if something contained everything.

My computer crashed over a week ago but, I did have folders and app's showing in recent document's. I'm pretty sure the app's options was a tweak I found at Kelly's Corner. Can't remember where I found the folder tweak. Edit: Okay, I think the folder's are listed under Recent folder's but, not displayed in the start menu. MenuApp will show everything in the recent folder and instruction's are provided for setting up special folders. It may even be portable? The only annoyance is that it repeatedly replaces itself in the startup folder.

After I watched it was trying to pin down what was missing. Many of your points I agree with but, will have to give this a few more episodes before I make my final decision.
While I'm avid fan of Lost it wasn't until a few episodes in that I was truly impressed. Also, to compare the depth of characters from Lost to Fringe is somewhat limiting, after all how much character depth was there in the first episode of Lost? Most people watched because of the action and the characters have been slowly revealed to us.
Also, I disagree on your main character analysis. How many shows exist with "lone wolf" men with continuous shortfalls in their personal lives? This character has focused on and been successful in her career. Many people do that.
One word sums it up... "Potential". The capacity lies there but, the writing needs to rise above technical adequacy and character development needs to happen soon.

Haven't done any scripting in AHK but, couldn't you just use an array or a loop statement? ...Jingle Keyboard
Not to be confused with that all time Christmas Classic "Jingle All the Way"!

No problem. Here's the script for anyone. Uses standard WSH regular expressions [ copy or print] 'Basic folder recursion, recurse folder, enumerate files and folders 'http://www.visualbasicscript.com/m_47117/tm.htm Option Explicit ' create FSO Dim objFSO : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim objShell : Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Dim strPattern, strReplace ' Text String to search target path for strPattern="G:\\Library" ' Text String to replace target path with strReplace="Q:\\NewLibrary" ' Call Recursion First ' Path to Folder Holding your shortcuts RecurseFolder "c:\temp" Sub RecurseFolder(strFolderPath) ' get folder Dim objFolder : Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolderPath) ' On Error Resume Next Dim objFile For Each objFile In objFolder.Files If objFSO.GetExtensionName(objFile.Path)="lnk" Then ChangeShortcut(objFile.Path) ' WScript.Echo "File: " & objFile.Name Next ' On Error Goto 0 ' On Error Resume Next Dim objSubFolder ' loop through sub folders For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders 'WScript.Echo "Folder: " & objSubFolder.Name ' have the sub call itself sending the sub folder path RecurseFolder objSubFolder.Path Next ' On Error Goto 0 End Sub Sub ChangeShortcut(oFile) Dim regEx Dim objLink, oTargetOld, oTargetNew Set objLink = objShell.CreateShortcut(oFile) oTargetOld=objLink.TargetPath Set regEx = New RegExp ' Create regular expression. regEx.Pattern = strPattern ' Set pattern. regEx.IgnoreCase = False ' Make case insensitive. oTargetNew=regEx.Replace(oTargetOld, strReplace) ' Make replacement. objLink.TargetPath=oTargetNew objLink.Save End Sub
