... i got the 17" portrait as it was almost the same height as my main 24" and also was wide enough to view the standard(ish) web browser width of 1024 pixels. ...

...this 3rd monitor has allowed me to set up a screen for running wider windows on

i do use the 24" like a two monitor setup too. so that's a bit like having 4 screens in total.

hmm, I have to say this sounds useful

last week i went to 3 monitors: 17" portrait, 24" and 17" landscape

what resolution(s) are you running on each monitor?

I've been chuckling all day....

Doesn't Skrommel have something that watch's windows and places/sizes them accordingly?

Mousers software section will become a 'Gold Membership' status area, available at an additional $75/month

Heck of a deal, sign me up for 10 years!  (check's in the mail)

Are there many context menu choices you need?  Or do you mostly use Delete and one or two others?   If so, maybe some specific keyboard or mouse shortcuts would be a different approach.

select the file, just delete

for example, I have Delete assigned to a mouse rocker gesture (left click-middle click).  So in this case after selecting the file I'd delete it like that, no menu or keyboard required.

Or you could make a custom menu with the commands you want in a macro program.  I've no experience with this but at least one if not both of the macro programs I use (Macro Express and AutoHotkey) can do this.

I understood your original query to be different than this.  I understood it to be that you wanted the Explorer context menu no matter what other application you happened to be working in.

If you had several Explorer windows open, on which unfocused window would the menu work?  Desktop?

You mean like pressing the APP key?

Autohotkey is freeware.  There are scads of scripts at Autohotkey.com.  Autohotkey is powerful but not so easy for many things.

Macro Express is shareware, easy to use for easy things.  By the time you've learned how to use it (pretty short learning curve), you'll know how to assign WindowMaximize/Restore to a specific mouse click.

Most of the macro programs allow executing a script by clicking on window parts, a screen area, or a window area.  The script would contain the code or keystrokes to Maximize/Restore the current window or a specified window.

I use AutoHotkey and Macro Express.  In this case I'd use Macro Express because it would be easy.

When you print a page to a pdf, are the links included?

There are utilities to do this.  I know because I have "Copy Path to Clipboard" on my context menu, but I don't remember where I got it.

Google "Copy Path to Clipboard", you'll get a list.

You can probably do this with a simple autohotkey script.  I say probably only because I don't know if the Windows key presents any particular problems, not having re-assigned it myself using autohotkey.

It would be a very short script, simply assigning to the Windows key the key combination that starts FARR.  After that, the only thing that will happen when you press the Windows key is that the hotkey for FARR will be sent.

Me too

One of the very few places on the web that I try to visit on a daily basis.

Other than the weather, the only place I check every day.

[another OS]

Allow me a predictable retort. Why is this a compelling reason to upgrade to Win7? Why not another OS altogether? Not making assumptions, but I don't understand the inevitability of sticking with Microsoft after XP or Vista.

In my case because I know, own, and use Windows, Word, and Excel.  What would be the net advantage to learning a new operating system and how to share files and continue to work with all the other Windows/Word/Excel people?

The daily paper in this part of Vermont and New Hampshire has local news that there's really no other way to get.

Does anyone know if Virtual Dimension (http://virt-dimension.sourceforge.net/) works on Windows 7?

I still use a DOS phonelist/dialer (HotLine), and run SuperKey with the same key definitions I was using in the 80's.

Desktop Ruler has a setting "Stick to Mouse" that would work.

Hmm, still rather expensive.

compared to NotePad, yes. not worth it if you don't need it.

To those of us who use the tool and have had years of experience with the product and the company, a $29 upgrade price is a pittance.

$29.00 is quite a lot to pay to get it

I've been using Boxer for a long time.  $29 (half-price) is an excellent price for an upgrade.

Note after you disable/enable an extension you need to restart explorer.exe. One way to do so is kill the process through taskmanager and then still in taskmanger chose New task and type explorer. There may also be an easier way someone here knows

NirSoft has a utility that restarts explorer:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/restart_explorer.html

Set one paragraph the way you like it then right click on the style and choose Update to Match Selection.

The tools are to make setting it the way I like quick and efficient, otherwise it's too many clicks/keys to change space b4/after.  Once I like it, I update the style to match.  Like I said, I seldom have to mess with these settings.  New designs and cleaning up imported text are when it comes up.   

No help here, but I'll be interested to see how someone goes about this 

Desktop Icon Toy

will do what you want I believe, plus a few other things (like shrinking icons, hiding icon text, showing only icon text, saving and restoring layouts).  I'm still using 3.0 which does exactly what I need.

You could set it to toggle hide/reveal your (tiny of course) icons with a single click on the tray icon.
