Developer's Corner / Re: Need help with Vista Backup

« on: June 21, 2008, 09:20 PM »

I still find it impossible to delete "Documents and settings" and "users" directories from the Vista partition, while running XP.
mstTotalAccess Pro doesnt seem to resolve the problem.

The directory attributes that I can change do not make directories deletable.

Can anyone explain this?

Apologies for missing the reply from Ianux128 - I dont normally check this topic.

I am attaching latest bugfix:
    Corrected App identification.
    Corrected for ini setting "persist_fast=2" which avoids refilling
    Label-list each time [Shift]-F5 is pressed

Includes help file "README.TXT" explaining operation.
If README.TXT is opened in an Editor and subscript is run,
(press [Shift]-F5), the subscript table should appear listing all
"Headings" (Labels) and other options. Selecting a table entry should
cause the Editor to search for the selected label.

RE:   CLIPSTEP (ClipSeek)

Small mod to improve Vista operation for cleaner display

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further to last posting, I am now attaching the LATEST modified CLIPSTEP and NEW CLIPSEEK
programs.

CLIPSTEP is a modified version of Skrommel's Clipstep, which is a clipboard extension app
which only uses [Control]+v and [Control]+c and [Control]+x to allow clips to be stored as
.CLIP files, and allows selection of stored clips for Re-Pasting. It is now modified to work
with CLIPSEEK, a new program (modified form of Seek from Phi) which has two different modes
of operation:

CLIPSEEK CLIP Mode:
  - Displays large table of clipboard CLIPs and shows Clip content
  - Predefine a Permanent directory for preconfigured applications to store clips
  - Allows Selection criteria to preselect clips to be displayed, many modes offered
  - Provides alternative Pasting options and other functions
  - Can add comments to individual clips, mark clips to preserve/display at top of list
  - Copy/Cut/Paste Selected block of clip-content from and to clip files

CLIPSEEK Directory Mode:
  - Displays (Recursed) list of files (and directories), shows file contents/properties/icons
   for common file-types and common grahics. (uses external programs detailed in help file)
  - Allows Selection criteria for filename AND/OR contents to preselect files to be displayed,
   many modes offered.
  - Can preconfigure settings for Active programs/Apps/extensions, which are automatically
   selected by ClipSeek when run, or can be manually selected, once .ini is configured.
  - Various display, selection and sort options
  - Allows files to be run (if File association exists)/ or Directories to be selected.
  - Allows listing of Apps (Link files etc) in StartMenu and StartMenuCommon, to search for
   and run required application.
  - Can allow MS Word (2000) Document files to be listed with block of contents, on which
   Selective search can restrict list, to aid in file selection, and run MSWORD with
   selected file(s).

Excuse the errors if there are any. It all works fine on my system.

I have now re-downloaded and installed mst TotalAcess and it seems to work perfectly.

Many thanks for all the help! - especially to Merleone for suggesting
mst TotalAccess.

I have now experimented with mstTotalAccess Pro but so far it doesnt resolve the problem - I only used the trial program, to see if it worked.
I have contacted mst to get their advice on this.

Many thanks for the info.
I use the same username (as administrator) across the platforms, but I guess system security retricts access.

I will try to check out mstTotalAccess Pro and XYplorer and see if I can manually perform zip backup/restore first.

Developer's Corner / Need help with Vista Backup

« on: May 15, 2008, 08:37 PM »

I have been developing a program to backup complete XP / 98 windows systems
to a large dedicated partition for zip backups.
Now that I have installed Vista (multiboot system) in a partition, I find it impossible to zip/delete & unzip the vista "Documents and Settings" & "Users" directories from within the XP C: drive.

Can anyone suggest a way to unlock these directories from within XP, or suggest a program that has got round the problem??

ahk Program: subscript

spotted this brilliant program from: Trubbleguy (www.autohotkey.com)
Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 3:56 pm    Post subject: Programming Utility SubFinder Script   

"NO MORE SCROLLING LOOKING FOR SUBS....OR ANY OTHER ITEM YOU ;tag "

Anyone who wastes time scrolling to find a label should give it a try!
I couldnt get it to work on my system, so here is modified version (works on XP).
When Editing an .ahk, .txt, or .BAT file, calling program (hotkey: [Shift]+F5)
 shows a Listview listing ALL Labels (OR Tags marks) in file being edited.
 - On selecting a Label (/Tag), Sends [Ctrl]+f to Editor to locate Label.
This saves endless time scrolling to find a Label:
Left program with various presettable options for the time being.

This beta includes some enhancements, including:

If [Right-Control]-c is pressed while focused on the Right pane
(Viewer) in clip mode, the selected text (right pane) is copied to the
System Clipboard.
Further clips/text made using [Right-Control]-c will be added to the
System clipboard.
If [Right-Control]-x is pressed after a line or a block of text is
selected in the Viewer pane, the selected text will be cut from the clip, and selected content added to the System clipboard.
If [Right-Control]-v is pressed after a line or a block of text is
selected in the Viewer pane, the content of the System clipboard will be inserted into the clip file just above the highlighted or selected text in the viewer pane.
By this means, text can be added to clip files or transferred between clip files.
The Viewer will now display up to a maximum size for clip files of
82,120 Bytes.

Also, Minor adjustments to internal settings for speed/flexibilty
