unfortunately, there is no shortcut, you have to reinstall everything, except simpler programs like firefox where all the setting are saved in a folder, or in .ini files.

« on: July 22, 2006, 02:04 AM »

another alternative is Registry Workshop.

it would be great if someone can compare Registry Workshop vs. Registrar Registry Manager, for me i prefer Registry Workshop, the seach is faster and it has better layout.

Living Room / Do you like/eat Sweet Potato?

« on: July 20, 2006, 12:54 AM »

The Sweet Potato Is King
A nearly perfect food that's low in calories and sky-high in everything else

If you don't eat sweet potatoes very often, or only at holiday time when they're smothered in melted marshmallow goo and baked until they're unrecognizable, you're missing out on one of nature's truly perfect foods. They're low in calories, high in fiber, great for diabetics and people who are carbohydrate sensitive, and packed with vitamins and minerals. So good for you is the humble sweet potato that Nutrition Action Healthletter once rated it the number one healthiest vegetable. Because it's so delectable and versatile, the sweet potato is one of my favorite foods.

i didnt eat much sweet potato but i am going to eat steamed sweet potatoes as breakfast from now on.

so this was my breakfast this morning, just plain japanese sweet potatoes.

If you need alarms, however, you'll need to look elsewhere.

-KPR (July 16, 2006, 05:15 PM)

doesnt ClocX support alarm? when i right click on it i see "alarm".

and if you like to have different hourly chimes, check out Chimer from http://www.blaiz.net/
http://www.blaiz.net/CHIMER.ZIP

it has many nice different chimes + ships bells.
(no need installation, just run it when you want to hear chimes)

If only the two could meet.  ShortcutMaker is friendlier, and saves me the trouble of finding/typing long paths, and Shortcut Sync syncs so quickly and neatly with no clutter. 

-gsull (July 11, 2006, 04:34 PM)

the beauty of Shortcut Sync is the command line approach, that enable us to use a batch file, it can even carry out several commands at once.

to create a batch file, create a new text file, write down the commands, ie.

Example: ShortcutSync.exe C:\Music D:\MusicLinks mp3 wav TrayTip

then save the text file and change the extension to .bat

unfortunately, it comes with ABBYY FineReader 8.0, not a separate program.

yes it can easily scrap text from images as long as it's legible.

you can send me the image and i will try to OCR it for you, see how well it can read.

thanks dB, Shortcut Maker works great now, and very fast too.

one small problem, if there are 2 files with the same name, ie.

F:\ttt\1.wma
F:\ttt\ddd\1.wma

it will overwrite the shortcut and end up with only one shortcut, is there a solution to this ? may be name the second shortcut 1(1).wma and so on? thanks again.
