General Software Discussion / Looking for 'Open With...' Editor
« on: March 14, 2007, 12:47 PM »
For five years I was using BAxBEx OpenExpert to alter the "Open with..." options in Explorer right-click Context Menu. But BAxBEx stopped developping a long time ago, and OpenExpert really isn't that user-friendly. You cannot add a program to several extensions in one go, but will have to add it to all or to each file format at a time, making it a very tiresome procedure.

Do you know of a clever user-friendly editor of the "Open with..." option?

Are you running PowerDesk and Stardock at the same time??

Oh, now I might understand: PowerDesk will replace Explorer, but Stardock has more to do with the desktop, or how is it? I'm not familiar with any of these two apps.

7279
I have version 5 I think, ....
.... or it could be that i already have stardock

Are you running PowerDesk and Stardock at the same time??

Wow; I was ahead of you with 32 seconds!

Thanks.

It should be
[url=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa904955.aspx][attachthumb=1,msg54788][/attachthumb][/url]

You're right, except for thumb part. I realize you cannot link to a thumb, it has to be the full size image.

I will uninstall .net framework and reinstall it from the microsoft site and not from my download folder, that way I should insure that I get the correct version.

I noticed that you'll have to choose the right language version yourself.

You could update to version 3.0 at the same go:

- I just did that yesterday; the link is not for Vista only

... I imagine these problems (maybe) could be solved by upgrading, but Win2000 PRO can not be upgraded to XP Home, it has to be into XP PRO - and I don't know of any XP Pro CD to steal, beg or borrrow...

I suddenly remember there is only 2½GB free space. Is that enough to upgrade to XP Pro?

[After-after edit: at this link you can have PowerDesk 6 Pro at only $10, so the rest of this post is really of no matter!]

[After-edit: I checked the rebate giving link after I first uploaded this post, and it was O.K., but eight hours later now its not giving rebate anymore. Sorry! Here is the valid link from the e-mail: https://shop.avanque...amp;prefcurrency=GBP  - and it gives rebate :) ]

I've received an offer by e-mail from VCOM to buy Power Desk 6 Pro at £15, normally £30, $40, within 48 hours. You might have heard about Power Desk before, I haven't, so I'm not sure if this is a good offer or if it doesn't matter.

Features:

6 Powerful Utilities;

File Viewer
Open the right file the first time without having to guess which file is which. Get improved file preview options to view the contents of a file in a preview pane or as a thumbnail image. This is particularly useful for browsing files from digital cameras, whole directories of images, or MP3 players where you can even view by artist name, album title, or your own personal notations.

 
FTP
Access PowerDesk FTP in an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface that lets you view FTP sites as though they were ordinary folders.

 
Sync Manager
Compare and synchronise files - especially useful for those who work on files that are shared between two computers, but also for backup.

 
Size Manager™
Discover how hard drive space is being used. Efficiently manage storage space and identify the drive hogs.

 
Dialog Helper
Enhance File->Open and File->Save dialog boxes with: a list selection of previously opened files and folders; a file viewer pane that supports over 150 file formats; Dialog helper to resize the annoying fixed size dialogs

.
Archive Manager
Easily compress and expand files from over 30 popular compression formats. Look within many archives to see the entire list of files and selectively view the contents or extract selected files with a simple drag and drop operation.

 

File Finder
Forget where you saved that important file? No problem. With PowerDesk® Pro 6, you can quickly locate files through searches by almost any criteria with its powerful "search engine" type tool. Search by keyword, file type, size, or date range and see the "hits" displayed in a single-line reference. You can also search inside Zip files and archives, too!


Great File Management
After using PowerDesk for a few days, you'll be wondering how you lived without it! Windows Explorer can't do a fraction of what PowerDesk enables you to do! Here's just a few of the features of PowerDesk Pro:

Dual pane operation - Makes it so easy to drag and drop files between different folders and drives.

Layout Manager - Save complete layouts under single click icons or add these layout icons to your desktop, so PowerDesk starts up up exactly where you want it to!

Add Notes to Your Files! - With a right-click of the mouse, you can add notes to help organize your files. Displayed in a mouse-over window or details view, these notes can remind you of what's in a file without having to open it!

Customize Your File Folders with Color - Easily customize and prioritize your file folders with eight distinct colors.

File Info column - This feature prominently displays specific details about each file in the file pane viewer. MP3 files will show a song title and run time. Images will show the size and resolution. Word documents show the document title, etc.

MP3 Collection Management - Create and control playlist files for portable MP3 devices as well as multimedia applications, such as WinAmp or other MP3 devices. Use the randomize feature to ensure a complete play of the files in random order. Includes cool tools for MP3 users for playing previews of files, searching for files, as well as renaming and editing groups of files in a single action.

File Viewer - Want to open the right file the first time without having to guess and open multiple files? PowerDesk Pro 6 has improved file preview options, which allow users to view the contents of a file in a preview pane or as a thumbnail image. This is particularly useful for browsing files from digital cameras, whole directories of images, or MP3 players where you can even view by artist name, album title, or your own personal notations.

Normal prize verified to be £30 at Bluesquad

Do you know about this app and have a say on it?

Thanks to mwb1100 and Ruffnekk for straighten things out.  :Thmbsup:

Would though be nice to hear from jacquesrober what action he has taken to his problems with this installation, and to understand why it went wrong in the first place.

7289
I am now certain that all the fuzz only was about the need for .NET 3.0

Its most strange that Microsoft can't figure out to just tell it - if you wanna drive Visual Studio you'll need to upgrade .NET Framework to version 3.0 - thats not hard to tell, is it? Maybe its because Visual Studio (and the quoted article) is older than .NET 3.0, so it would alter version 2.0 and make it unsuitable for upgrading to 3.0 - that must be it.

f0dder; will you check if your .NET is version 3.0 please ?

7290
I have tried to install Visual studio without removing .net framework, and it just freezes the installation and is difficult to remove. I used Procexp  from Sysinternals to remove  the install screen and then still had to reboot.
Are you saying that visual studio will install a version of .net framework? I need .net to run some apps.
Regards,
jr

.Products
Get the latest downloads for Windows Vista, .NET Framework 3.0, and Windows SDK.


Product Notes:
Windows Vista

The final version of Windows Vista is now available to MSDN Subscribers (Operating System level or higher) soon. Visit MSDN Subscriptions to download Windows Vista as soon as it's available. (Read information on purchasing an MSDN Subscription.)

Visual Studio 2005:
Download the Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite 180-Day Trial. For other versions, including the express download, visit the Visual Studio 2005 Express home page.

NET Framework 3.0
With the exception of Windows Vista (which by default includes the .NET Framework 3.0), all operating systems require you to install the .NET Framework 3.0 in order to run and develop managed applications. Some sample tools included in the Windows SDK also require you to install the .NET Framework 3.0.
-Microsoft

So i'll guess you have to update to .NET 3.0 - only I thought 3.0 was Vista only..??

7291
Unless you've got .net beta on your system, installing this shouldn't be a problem though?

To the best of my understanding of this not-understandable text from Microsoft, the important part is not if you have .NET 2.0, but if you ever have had an earlier version of Visual Studio, because then your version of .NET 2.0 would have been altered. So if you have the standard .NET 2.0 and never have had Visual Studio before, there should be no problem - I guess...

7292
the preview part is not important, but yes all images should be put into attachment fields at the bottom of the post new message page, and then put
[attach=1,msg54661][/attach]
inside the body of the post wherever you want the images to go.

I guess this is only important when the pic is on another server, but DC might be using several servers, so it goes for pics on DC as welll?

7293
I agree that the language is DAMN confusing.

1.2. Upgrade from previous releases of Visual Studio 2005:

For best results, install on a computer that has not had pre-release versions of SQL 2005, Visual Studio 2005, or the .NET Framework 2.0 installed on it.

If your computer has any of the pre-release versions on it, they must be removed in the correct order BEFORE you begin installing the release version. This process is not officially supported. More information on the uninstall process.

Go to the Control Panel and launch Add/Remove Programs
Remove all SQL Server 2005 products
Either run the uninstall tool, or follow the manual uninstall instructions below
Install the Express Edition product or products you wish to use
Most pre-release projects can be carried forward to the release version. Details on any changes needed for forward compatibility.  If you have problems, take a look at this link or report your specific issue on the Visual Studio Express Forum.

1.2.1. Uninstall Tool
Warning: This Auto-Uninstall Tool uninstalls ALL pre-release Visual Studio 2005 products, including Visual Studio Express Editions, Visual Studio Team System, Visual Studio Professional, and Visual Studio Standard.

Run autouninstall tool now

1.2.2 Manual Uninstall Instructions
If you decide to uninstall manually, without using the tool, be sure you uninstall ALL Visual Studio 2005 product editions BEFORE you uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0.


Maybe they are installing another version of .NET Framework ? But they don't tell!   :down:

7294
Bryan Miller made these fabulous tutorials on C# writing, and of course started out with the link to the program behind it all, Visual C# Express.

I read the System Requirements and was surprised big time (in fact you should read this page very carefully if you are planning to install Visual Studio, there are many issues and surprises):

Before installing, you must uninstall any previous Beta, CTP or Tech Preview versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0.

-Microsoft

Remove .NET 2.0 ?? Is this really necessary? I mean: .NET Framework has been and will be updated for localized languages (here: Danish), but Visual Studio will never be updated for any other languages than the top 5 largest languages. Well, Microsoft says it is necessary to remove .NET 2.0 and they say it several times, so I guess it is so, but I just thought you might want to know if you plans to install Visual Studio and learn this C#.

Have you tried a repair install ?
-Carol Haynes (March 13, 2007, 06:11 AM)

After the installation of Installer 3.1 my new XP Home is working all right. As for the old 2000 Pro, hmmm... When I insert the 2000 installation CD it will start the repair procedure and try to install, but then it will say that some file is missing and offer to go and get it at the Internet, but nothing will happen - I guess the necessary file too is broken, but it doesn't tell what file or where to get it.

I imagine these problems (maybe) could be solved by upgrading, but Win2000 PRO can not be upgraded to XP Home, it has to be into XP PRO - and I don't know of any XP Pro CD to steal, beg or borrrow...

7296
Is that:
Do always use "Preview + Link Inline Image.. + Inline ___ Attachment + paste url into 'Attach:'-box " ?

7297

[edited to attach picture -- please attach pictures to posts rather than linking to offsite images]

Click What ? Is that: Do not 'Insert Image' ?

You can change the Zotero icon

Very nice update!

Hi Curt,
It must be "software\microsoft\WINDOWS\currentversion\r..."

The PDF printer, vspdfprsrv.exe, was using 2.4 MB memory which is not unusual, but of course in no way necessary. Well, that's history now: Thanks for the directions!  :Thmbsup:

Zotero is an amazing new bibliographic reference manager.
I had Zotero but got annoyed by the HUGHE icon taking up far too much valuable space.
