General Software Discussion / Change Of Address "3"

« on: December 01, 2006, 06:52 PM »

Change Of Address (COA)

COA2 is from 2001, before XP. Does any of you know about another program, for XP??

- and if you don't, then: Is such a program to big a meal for code snacks??

---

"Description: COA2 lets you move a program to a new location without breaking it. (...) COA2 tracks down all references to the old address and replaces them with the new address. When the changes are complete, it presents you with a list of changes and gives you the option to undo any of them, if necessary. Note that COA2 does not actually move any files. It reports moves and name changes to the system. (...)"

Skrommel's Software / CacheSorting Firefox as well

« on: November 30, 2006, 08:09 AM »

Hey skrommel :-)

I tried to make CacheSort work with the Firefox cache as well, but couldn't do it - I am not much of a programmer...

Will you make CacheSort sort both the Firefox cache and the Internet Explorer Temp in one go ( i én og samme arbejdsgang)? I would expect both results to go to one and the same folder.

Best regards,
Curt.

General Software Discussion / know all about Windows

« on: November 28, 2006, 07:56 PM »

I found this page by accident, and thought that someone ought to know.

Daniel Petri, a Microsoft MVP from Tel-Aviv, collects all there is to know about Windows 2000 and XP. His collection of direct links to Windows 2000 Resource Kit tools is AWESOME. And I noticed there were links to XP tools as well.

I thought that some of you guys would like this site.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Restart IE

« on: November 23, 2006, 08:14 AM »

I've not been able to find any extension / program with the feature "Restart Internet Explorer". I'd expect there is such a program, but I don't know of it. But having had Firefox(with extension "Restart Firefox 0.3") for some months now, I have become very addicted to this feature  , and wonder how I ever managed to live without it...

Of course, this should be a job for Microsoft, but would you please consider to make Internet Explorer be able to restart at the present page - or please tell me the name of a program that will???

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: AutoClose

« on: November 18, 2006, 07:38 AM »

I have looked at SmartClose and read about CloseMany, and others, but I need another 'version', say “AutoClose”.

Every now and then 3 of my programs will hang and not close properly. Because of this I am using Microsoft UPHClean (“UPHClean is a service that once and for all gets rid of problems with user profile not unloading.”) – but it is far too gentle; these 3 programs will not always shut down, and will sometimes ask me annoying questions.

This is where I was thinking about DonationCoder  . It seems to me that you must be the right experts to write a small program (“AutoClose”) to close certain programs when Close Computer is clicked. Not demanding any actions from me, but working as an integrated part of the normal Close Computer: “Close certain programs when Windows is closing computer, and if they will not close, then brute kill them.”

Please!?

The problem about lost changes is of course my problem. When I click Close, I want my PC to close! I want to be  able to click Close Computer, and walk away, knowing that of course it will close, as I told it to.

I use a StartUp program, so I will not expect AutoClose to handle any startup.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Remember Folder Setting (Windows 2000)

« on: November 03, 2006, 09:34 AM »

Windows have a feature that will make Explorer remember the folder settings, but at least my Windows 2000 will not remember all the settings the way I want them to be, only some of them. Whenever I open, say, ControlPanel, it will open in Details:

- but i want it to display Large Icons.

I believe I have tried every combination, using Folder Settings, but none will remember all settings, only some of them.

BUT IF you would make some sort of DLL to add the feature to right-click-in-folder or add to Expplorer Toolbar Drop-down Menu; Show / Display (or what? I am not familiar with the English terms), giving the choice to click "Remember This Folder Setting" - or something.


 Pardon my Fre.. English - Did anyone understand what I am looking for?

Dr.Windows / The Doctor won't remember timer

« on: October 31, 2006, 04:00 PM »

Dr. Windows seems to be set to trigger every 24 minutes. When I adjust the timer, it will not remember my setting after next startup, but again trigger every 24 minutes. Please let your next update solve this little issue. I would feel more safe if it had a save button.

LaunchBar Commander / How to add shortcuts?

« on: October 29, 2006, 04:44 AM »

I have started out somewhat carefully, because I really am an IT anaphabet and don't understand IT-English.

This is my first LaunchBar:

The tree is showing the content of (Win2K) Start > Programs, and Start > Programs > Aux. (:'Tilbehør'), and Start > Programs > Aux > System Tools.

Start > Programs is okay; all the programs are listed.
Start > Programs > Aux. > System Tools, is okay too.
But Start > Programs > Aux is most certainly not okay!

Notice how all these 11 shortcuts are missing from (Win2K) Start > Programs > Aux.:
LauncBar Commander (!!!), PopUp Wisdom (!!), URLSnooper2 (!!), BrowserTraySwitch (!!), MySoftwareFactory (4 programs), ZIPGenius6 (3 programs), GIMP, Paint, Calculator (‘Lommeregner’), Games (‘Spil’) and Communication (Netmeeting, HyperTerminal, etc.).

(As you know, the darker grey (left) is Win, and the lighter (right) is LaunchBarCmd):

- and, no, they are not listed in ‘Programs’ or 'System Tools' either.

Can I add these shortcuts myself?

Find And Run Robot / Not FARR; show Start>Programs

« on: October 28, 2006, 01:51 PM »

I have tried Find&RunRobot for some days, but realized that my memory works better with pictures than with names, saying; I can't remember the name of the program I want to open, but I clearly remember where it is placed. So I removed FARR again, and wonder if you can write a program for Windows that will make all of Start > Programs > Aux. > + 1 or 2 more, display at once??



Those who will use this program may not have FARR, so the Break button should be available :-)

PopUp Wisdom / Poor uninstall

« on: October 27, 2006, 12:16 PM »

I had the same problems as spj wrote about September 2005 (VERY nice! ...but) - PopupWisdom would not save the settings, and told me to Press Menu Button, select Preferences and select a book, at every Startup  - but I did not solve it, so I > uninstalled the program (using Unins000.exe), > deleted the rest, > emptied the basket, > rebooted the PC > downloaded a new > tried to install > BUT got the message:
"..file popupwisdom.exe.. Cannot replace the existing file .. DeleteFile failed; code 32 ... the file is being used by another program". 

This is the strangest message I can think of in this situation, and I have no idea what to do next. I have all kind of smart programs to help me in different situations, but how do you delete a file that has been removed from the PC??

The program is (of course) not listed in Win2000Pro Add/Remove Programs, nor is popupwisdom to be found in the reg' keys, except MRUs.
