Folk,

Is there a way to determine which version of .NET a given program is using?  Windows Explorer shows six (6) versions (four (4) major versions) installed on one (1) of my machines.  Regedit shows four (4) (three (3) major) versions (?!?  :-\).  Search provides much info on determining what is installed, but I've not found anything to show what version is actually being used by any given program.

HotKeyMan may be the answer to a problem I've presented here in the past.  Haven't tested yet - just downloaded - but part of the blurb claims it will detect existing hotkey combinations for running software.

If so, it'll be the answer to a dream I've long held, and I suspect more than a few of you would find it of interest.  I'm gonna test it, will report [relative] successes  :up: ;D & failures  :down: :(.  Keeping fingers crossed that it'll actually perform - that would be a dream come true  :-* :P.

Folk,

I'm looking for ftp diff software.  So far, I've found DiffVue-$20.00, Diff Commander-$29.00, Beyond Compare-$30.00, and all prices seem to be very low end, such that if I'm going to use the software to check more than one (1) site, I need to buy multiple licenses.  Nothing showed up at freecode.com, at least, nothing that I could recognize (their descriptions are not always as comprehensive as they might be  ;D).

That being the case, anyone here have any recommendations?

Folk, I have a[nother] problem.

Have a [relatively] new Toshiba Satellite, P775, with Intel i7 CPU, 600GB RAM, 750GB HDD, Win7 Home Premium. 
The disk is partitioned thusly:
  • 250GB OS (C:\) drive partition
  • remainder partitioned as E:\ drive for data & some software that wants to write to the install directory.

I want to upgrade to Win7 Ultimate.  In light of that, I went to Amazon, purchased the appropriate Windows Anytime Upgrade.  I'm still working with that, but so far the results have been nil.  The upgrade cannot even create a restore point, so that kills it before any upgrade has been initiated.

I've checked that the drives are properly configured, insofar as I can tell, for restore creation.

In light of this, it's likely that I'll have to do a full install, rather than an upgrade.  I've been using this box for a month or so, and have installed a number of programs.  I'm trying to list all the installed software so as to create a checklist for installs subsequent to the upgrade.

I tried the late Karen Kenworthy's Directory Printer, but I don't know that it's listing everything.  I also tried Revo Uninstaller to export both a .txt and .html file.  Again, I'm not certain that everything is being listed.

I know I'm gonna have trouble replacing some of the utilities Toshiba put on the box, so I want to be certain everything is listed in order to research those utilities.  So, back to the question at hand, is there a better way to list everything that is currently installed  :-\?

(A better question might be, "How can I get past the restore point issue?"  However, I'm not certain that could be addressed by anyone who did not have physical access to the box  :( :-\ :P.)

Oh, yeah, I did shut down everything that did not have to load on boot (Chameleon Startup Manager Pro, v3.4.0.761), which did make the Windows boot process much faster.  However, this Toshiba takes 123-126 seconds for the physical boot, i.e., two (2) minutes before the OS even begins to load  :down:.  That can be shortened in the BIOS, but then it will boot only from the HDD, not even from a LiveCD  >:(

Gee, whiz, nobody knew they needed it  ;D.

I've just seen prolly six (6)-eight (8) mentions/references to Text 2 Folders  :o.  [ On review sites, that is.]

Who knew there was such a need :-\?

Wonder from whence it came  :huh: ;D ;)?
