OK.  It's official.  I'm, an idiot.   

I have ZERO ideas as to what to do with this.  What is a GZQUAR file?

as in IEAE.EXE.195020.GZQUAR?
Not to  mention IEAE.au3>?

Did my copy of Fastunzipsnack just blow a fuse? 
Thanks

WOW!

what a Fright!  Clicked your link and got a GIANT warning from BitDefender telling me that the site I am about to visit is known to have MALWARE or some such!  I am trying to get it to repeat so I can send you a screenshot.  I was already on the site reading your posts, clicked the link to DL the file and WHAM.  I told it to let me in anyway so I might not be able to get it to do it again.  It must be something new , I have seen it only a couple of times all in past week or so.   Just an FYI.  I will notify Bit defender of their false positive.

4wd.  Oh well.  This wont quite make the grade.   It might if I rewrote the source but all I really need it something much simpler.

The Address shopwing in the addressbar.  Surely IE stored that info somewhere.  I simply need to be able to copy the info from the address bar and put it into the email that opens.  It is already pre-addressed to me and all I have to do is hit send.  BUT.  Before I can do that, I have to copy the website address from the browser address bar into either the subject or body of the email (or both).
I may have to get creative with a batch file that captures that one field and puts it into the correct position of the mailto: command.

this site has a lot of what got me this far  now only one automatic step left and I am a oneclick fix for sending myself links to site I am on

4WD  I shudda known it would be you .  You have come up with more of the "final parts" to my rube goldberg contraptions.  And they usually work !:)  Maybe always work.

I have never heard of a bookmarklet but I dl'ed the code so now I need to figure out how to patch it into the mailto: hotlink.
OR  maybe now.  It seems to already do most of what I want anyway.  I have a great hotkey utility called Clavier that I could not live without that can fill in ALL my emails ( i have about 5, one for each place I work) so that I get to benefit at each location from research done at the others.

I also recently found a fantastic one click AHK code to add the good old Quick launch bar back.  It never was hard but was tedious and I simply have to have it due to the way the IE download manager acts like it is an actual windows page.  So until you close it, clicking he "e" in the taskbar just opens the download manager.  I have not found a way to get the darned thing to "time out" after all downloads are done it stays open just to annoy me.

Speaking of annoyances,  here is a good one for you.  In Outlook (Version doesn't matter) if you enter a search term to look for an email in your inbox, after it does it's job and you find all the emails from "Mr. Buttkiss"     or whatever term you type in.  WHY isn't there a timed release option.  Like maybe 5 minutes later the search bar erases itself so you go back to seeing the normal mailbox with ALL the mail instead of that select few.  A well behaved setup would even warn you that the 5 minute window was up and ask if you wanted to keep the search term or release it and go back to normal view with no filters.

I have a wish list that is as long as it is varied and surely these are quirks that annoy someone other than me.  But most people just put up with it.

By the way, someone here (I think) finally pointed me to the perfect solution to the need for a way to know where a download came from.
I have been very happy with it so far.    FDM  or Free Download Manager.

And a Really fantastic tool can be found at www.voidtools.com (again, many thanks to whoever sent me there) called Everything.  It is a lightning fast windows file searcher that I have not been able to find anything else that comes close.

I will close with one final request for Help!  This is affecting numerous people here and is really getting to be a nuisance.  CONDUIT!

I actually found EVERYTHING during a Search to get RID of conduit.  On every computer I have tried it on so far, there is a 100% success rate.  Simply enter conduit as the search term into everything and then SHIFT+Delete on ever file or folder it finds with that term in it.
I have never had a single problem created and every time I use it, it removes all the browser hijackers installed by the Malicious company.  But an ounce of prevention is etc etc .  so I wish I could flat out block the creation folder or file with the name Conduit.  Or at the least pop up a warning asking the user if they are sure they want to allow it.

While there are very likely legitimate programs somewhere that will need thatname in their folders, out of maybe the 50 or so I have had to clean, not a single one suffered any harm.

Happy Holiday Season to Everyone here on Donation Coders.

Maybe I wasn't as clear as I thought.  I can get Outlook to open up and load my email address in the sent to:
What I am lacking is the link info to send.  I know it is somewhere.  The address of the page I am on when I hit the F2 key which is what I programmed to be the hotkey access to the mail to: shortcut.  You can also include other information in the mail to: command line but I do not know where that information is stored in order to add it.
I presume it is a variable in IE somewhere that knows where I am.  It would be the contents of the address bar.  I just do not know where that information is stored so I cannot programmatically access it.

Post New Requests Here / File Send Link by email as a Single Hotkey without having to leave the webpage

« on: November 23, 2013, 11:04 AM »

I got so close but could not find the final piece to the puzzle.    I bit of searching got me to the correct setup to achieve everything but the LINK for the webpage I was on.  F2 set to be the hotkey does everything but add the link.  I am sure that there is a variable somewhere that stores that link but I have no idea where.
This would just make it super easy to keep track of random browsing that turns up tidbits that I would like to go back and look at in depth but that may not be relevant to the reason for the Search I am working on,  I run across all kinds of places that I would love to go back and visit and to be honest file send PAGE by email might even be a better option since the link displayed might not reveal the reason why I saved it.
I setup outlook to automatically sort out these "interesting sites to be looked at when I have time" emails and pt them all in a folder.  Since it is an email, I have a date and time for when I ran across each one.

I'm not complaining, as the option to click all those keys does work quite well but it gets old after a while when I think about it.  Why isn't there a single click option to do this without even showing me Outlook or anything else so I do not lose my original train of thought for what I was really looking for?
I have searched for an IE add-on or even a Google Chrome add-on with no luck.  The F2 option was built from suggestions I found on 'How To Geek' and it works quite well except that it pops up the email on top of the webpage so I can fill in the subject (which I would like to be the link to the webpage)  <or as I said maybe better that it be the webpage itself.... except this could lead to some very large emails    ....  >

If anyone knows the location of the variable that would hold the actual web-address of the page I am on when I hit that hotkey I would appreciate it.  Most of the rest is done with the normal capabilities of the mailto: format which has a place to add the subject or I could make it the body.

The final step would be to complete the sequence with a SEND command so that all I might see is a flicker on the screen as it all happens.

Someone here always has the answers so it is the first place I look. 

Thanks

Mini-Reviews by Members / Add QuickLaunch Back to taskbar with one click from commandline

« on: November 22, 2013, 10:34 PM »

The normal method of doing this has always worked fine but I have to go through all the steps on every system I want it on.
I promised myself that eventually I would find the time to make the muss and fuss a one click solution. Needless to say, I never did.    

However after some research tonight I did find someone who took the time to compile the process with AHK and I have to admit it is like a player piano on high speed playing an old favorite..

Since I test out so many different things on my systems I inevitably end up reloading them every few months and puttting the Quicklaunch back on.  It's not hard, just tedious.

For anyone who might be interested:  This is not my work but I have to give credit to the author it works like a charm.
Run from a command prompt using the specific command line he recommends (For me that was best but I suggest you read all the options)
I just added the QL to 4 Windows 7 systems I had to reload from scratch and Zero problems
I had hoped to find a registry edit since this is nothing more than creating a new toolbar but it seems many others have tried that route but none succeeded.

For those of you who might be interested, here is the link to the download which includes the source code as a bonus.

http://www.mediafire...nchClassic_1.05.zip#!

This was posted in 2011 so it may not be there forever.  I am keeping an archive of it if anyone finds it unavailable please PM me.

I hope this helps someone else as I  have been helped so many times by others here on Donation Coders.

General Software Discussion / Re: Clever screenshot - automatical selection

« on: November 04, 2013, 06:23 PM »

This is probably a dumb reply but.. maybe it will be of some use to you.
I setup the Gadwin Free Printscreen (www.gadwin.com/downloads  the last one is the free one) to do this for a different reason. 
I can't always use just one browser so I had to have a solution for IE and Firefox Chrome or whatever I was on. 
I was trying to create a log file to show where I got certain downloads from without having to open notepad etc.  Used another program called Clavier+ (which is harder to find - http://clavier.software.informer.com/)  VERY tiny and extremely useful hotkey utility to create the oneclick of my choice to run it. 
It has options to save only portions of a screen but the whole screenshot as a png is so tiny I just save the whole page.  In the naming options there is a place to put a time stamp formatted (%m-%d-%y %H:%M:%S)
which I stole and used for the name of the file.  I am now trying to find a way to change that stamp to use the variable holding the current website instead of date and time. 
The end result was almost exactly what I wanted but it may not be even close to what you need.  Just thought I would offer what little I have

So many people have helped me here on this site that maybe I can give some back

Post New Requests Here / Modification for MicroChat script

« on: November 02, 2013, 12:47 PM »

This is something that is slightly beyond my capabilities but following the script command order it seems it should be a possibility.
I have a use for the program as is but it would be greatly enhanced by the addition of one other thing.  I need an option for the user at login to choose from a list of available chats as well as start a new one. 
The program is a simple echo to a blank html file named msg.html by default.
I need a way to have more than one of these and allow the person accessing it to choose from a list of them all for which one they want to open.
Since it is a simple PHP script using no real database (and I would like to keep it that way) it would need to have the addition of a menu (just a directory list of available "msg*.html" files.  Preferably I would like to allow the person logging in to be able to choose from those already there or create a new "blank.html" file that they could name as they need.

This is for a specific use and I am not worried about the people using it  abusing that ability.  In addition, the chats are all cleaned out every night.

But where it is used, they have multiple topics and would like to be able to discuss/chat with each other on a "per topic" basis.

I am sure there are far more robust applications out there that may already have this capability but I already have Micro-Chat working perfectly as-is and hate to make things complicated if there is a simple solution.

Thanks for any input.

I could post the msg.php and msg.html as the files are only 1kb but I don't want to waste space unnecessarily. 
www.sourceforge    or     www.phptoys     both have the script available as a 4kb zip file download

Developer's Corner / Website using cshtml - Razor - IIS-7 and maybe dotnet4.0

« on: October 27, 2013, 11:54 AM »

This is totally a "question" not  aneed for a program but to  gain enough knowledge to finish a job.
This company bought a new software package that allows their service people to connect to their ServiceReport software via web through an SSL connection.  The people inside the office also use the same software but they enter it from a  link on their local systems.  The remote module is for the techs in the field.  They connect to a web-address that uses a static IP configured in IIS7 server 2008R2.  The main program uses  a SQL database but that part is working for the people inside already.
The problems came up when I tried to connect through the outside via web.  First, the software they use is a little on the "under-supported" side.  If iyt works on the inside, the rest is up to their local IT guy (me).  But they have changed their setup at east twice since I began 2 weeks ago as they found problems with Windows 8. 
That was just to give you some insight as to why I can't just call their tech support to get an answer.  I did.  Their reply was they don't know anything about how it works basically.
The site they connect to is written with a program called RAZOR which I am not familiar with.  ALL the code has .cshtml extensions which will not open with any browser I have tried and the best I can get is various "550", "403"  error codes.  Yet I have followed to the letter the instructions they sent. (which were written for windows XP!)  They do not even mention the need for dotnet40  I found that out by accident.  Their installer puts in dotnet3.5.

OK.  My question is this:  Does anyone know if their is a way to convert CSHTML to normal HTML so I can at least figure out what file is the one for website entry
(it isn't "index.anything'  or if it is, their software installer doesn't create it).   This is nothing more than a password protected gateway into their service module from the internet.  The only program I have worked with like it also uses SQL database etc. but the users connect via VPN.  In that program each user once connected through a secure VPN then connects to the main program database and uses their own copy of the client software.

Right now, I am just trying to get this "cshtml" website to open even using localhost. I can access the system via the web-address but after that it isn't binding to the correct files to open a web-login
I would even be happy to load this thing onto APACHE under Windows 7

Post New Requests Here / comma remover and name order changer

« on: October 16, 2013, 05:39 PM »

I don't know a better way to explain it but I have a folder of about 200 jpg files.
I need to change the file names from "last name," "first name" "middle initial.".  The program that creates the photo display uses the actual name of the jpeg as the title of the photo which makes sense.  But the person who created the list was obviously someone is used to working in a large office and filing by last name.
I found some utilities that can reverse alphabetize etc and I feel sure that if I asked Google the right question someone has already written such a script.
So that the comma would trigger deleting everything in front of it and the space after it and adding what it deleted to the end of the name.
Instead of "Abbott, John B.jpg  I would have "John B. Abbott.jpg"

This is probably a perfect task for Excel using the comma delimiter but I never use Excel for anything much,  Just thought I would ask if anyone has ever seen such a tool before I write my own. I hate to try to reinvent the wheel. 
Thanks

THANKS TO ALL.  I did get this work. 
the problem was I forgot that using  zip file to send a directory creates a directory inside a directory.
I think I have been up too long  last 20 hours at east.  But it works!

if anyone has a similar problem I also went back and tried several other possible way to do it but the <a href.. as listed going to index.html in quotes.  that was it.  nothing else works but that works perfectly even in the FLASH movie page.

Thanks again to all

OK  I cannot win.

the corrected ink does NO work but the INCORRECT link will get you to the directory of where you have to click on the folder "FINAL"
http://www.greenwoodsearch.com/final

that was what I out the first time.
if done that way you get two options parent directory and Final.  Click Final.  The  click Gallery at the top center of page.
then on the left side you see Album 1 or it expands to album 8 but right above that s the word HOME in top left corner,  I would like to make that my exit button.
exiting back to the main index.HTML on the homepage

sorry for all the posts RGDOT ...  I hope I gave enough info to at least get you there.  working remote through three system-links is harder than  thought it would be

« on: October 12, 2013, 12:31 AM »

Well!  I have no idea why but  while it still doesn't get he where I want to go, I am getting  different reaction.

First,  the address I should have out is http://www.greenwood...com/final/index.HTML

That gets you into the main page.  then as I said the Navigation bar at the top says Gallery.  this activates G6.HTML which I sent  zipped copy of.
 My last effort was a line that used the word HOME so that is the linked exit.  And for some reason it now does something.  it does not exit but it does give me hope 

as it recognizes that I told it to do something.  <a href ="..index.html"<Home</a> is the format I used

I may need to modify that command but this is the first time it even acknowledged that there was a command.  If the click were to go back up one directory to the root, then run the Index.HTML that would fix it

General Software Discussion / How to change an html script usingc "list" to instead pull the ites from a folde

« on: October 09, 2013, 12:34 AM »

I have a scrolling display for some photos that currently is set to have a separate entry coded for each item displayed.  There are only 20 or so.  But the true list is closer to 100 photos.  I already have the section laid out and space allotted for but I need a way to pull those photos as random from a folder full of them (one that will get fuller over time) and scroll them in a vertical display with one going off the top as the next scrolls up from the bottom.  I am also not averse to the possibility of fading one out and another in.  I may have see a Flash script somewhere to do that as well.

It would be nice if I could assign two variables $a and $b to two of therandom photos which would begin the scroll.  $b which would move in to replace $a.  And then $a get replaced with a  new random photo which would itself push $b off the top as it scrolled up.  This would be repeated indefinitely is what I need.

Seemed easy when I thought of it but not so easy in practice.  I am missing something the the part that assigns the variables a photo a think.
Thanks for any help.

General Software Discussion / HTACCESS file correct wording to prevent outside access but allow internal links

« on: October 06, 2013, 11:05 PM »

On a website I have been working on, I recently got some help for a chat room from as very nice user here.  The program called Microchat (which I highly recommend to anyone who might need a standalone minimalist environment.  It was great advice and I appreciate it) (Sorry "App103"  it was you I think.  Give credit where it is due 

On my website i now am able to provide a link to  the microchat folder inside the parent folder.  So far, they have to leave one page to go to the other but I got it to open a tab instead of a page so getting back is easy.  The problem is that while inside the microchat folder, the displayed web-address can be copied and used to re-enter the microchat room without going through the main name/password log in.  Normally I would use htaccess  with the usual "order deny, allow.." ect.  But it would be more practical if it redirected them to the login page if they tried to "sneak in the back door"   .  

I tried to use a normal htaccess redirect that i have used before but on this one it did nothing at all.  Pasting the link into a browser addressbar allowed me outside access going to the Microchat subfolder insider the website with no problem.  Not good as that bypasses all security  Since all the pages inside the site must have a link to allow the logged-in users to make use of the chat room, it has to allow at least inside access (from the main site directory to the Microchat subdirectory) but anyone trying to later reuse the displayed link in an address-bar needs to be blocked.  Either redirected to the login page or a 403 Access not permitted. or any suitable "Keep Out Message"    

I tried a couple of htaccess files I have used in the past but they did not seem to help, probably because I don't know what I'm doing    But.  I'm getting there.

WOW             I found my way back here.  X16.  If you are on or someone else familiar with his reply.  U was able to use the exact layout from find by running it further down the tree.  no need for the gsar.  however the UNIX output from find uses a "." to separate what I need to be single lines.  each entry is just added to the next with the . separating them.  is there a similar utility that would change the "dot" to be a "carriage return"?  convert a UNIX style output to a DOS style output?  That is all it needs now.  Your Unix command cut this whole thing down to 15 characters on a command line. except for the UNIX output/.

Adding this in case it helps someone else.  Open the .txt file created with any editor other than notepad  (I guess)
I used notepad++ and it opened right up with the lines exactly as I need them.  Thanks for everyones help .

   I am SO out of it.  I swear.  X16 I hope you are on tonight.  
I need the smiley where he hits his head on the wall.  This whole setup you sent was a way to fix the output.  I tried everything I knew but it fiercely resisted all attempts to create anything.
After "hitting my head on the wall " a few times, I finally read the instruction for the Unix commands.  Your proggy was a FIX for my output.    OK.
Well, I learned a few interesting facts anyway.  Some (maybe not all) of those commands work fine when just dropped into the windows directory so they can be found in the path.
find and gsar work perfectly when done that way.  All I have to do now is find the batch file that created the file that needed to be edited.  I bet I can even merge the two and in the end get what I want.  That was worth the effort.  I got to laugh at myself for being so nearsighted.  The original batch is here somewhere but I have maybe 50 that all work to some degree.  Anyway, your input was a welcome surprise.  I am sure I will have other uses for all these new commands now
