If I ask for further changes could you implement them yesterday?

Your further changes are already in there.   :P

I'm going to print this and stick it to my office door :eusa_dance:

... where control+space is autocompletion for variables and functions. I don't think that keyboard combo can be changed?

It's not Ctrl-Space, but a dead key, like ', followed by a space that produces the '. If it where Ctrl-space I wouldn't be able to use it either ;)

@roberro: The dead keys are so natural and transparent in daily use that it's hardly documented, because most users don't want to live without it after they discover it :-*
Most of them I have to help/learn to add the standard VS keyboard, and switch layout using left-ctrl-shift, because they have the need to disable it at times (mostly developers, using quoted strings in their sources).

- Would it be possible to trigger with a popup?
  p.e. now I use \\a" to write an "ä"
        and \\a^ to write an "â"
        and so on
  It would be nice if Auspex can do this:
  write an "a" --> trigger --> popup with â,ä,à etc
         and "A" --> trigger --> popup with Ä,Â,Á etc

Windows does have the "US International" keyboarddriver available, that can be installed next to the much used US keyboard, and is easily activated/switched by a left-ctrl-shift press. Then it's even easier to type "a to get ä, 'c to get ç, ^o for ô. If you need the accent without the following letter, just press space.
I wouldn't use Auspex for that. It's correct that the standard keyboarddriver doesn't facilitate to show a popup.

.. and it supports SDRam

Guess you are talking about an SD card, not SD-Ram, that's totally not compatible with car-audio :-[

Has anybody here ever even seen an Itanium-based machine, let alone worked with one?

I have, both seen and worked with, but it wasn't running Windows but HP-UX. It's rock-steady, and performs quite good, for the tasks it was designed for. Not particularly good in any Windows environment though.

Please re-read the readme file, it has samples and explanations, and weblinks to the key mnemonics to use.

Your sample could look something like this, assuming the title of your form really is 'UserForm1' :
Shell "S:\WinSendKeys.exe -w UserForm1 {TAB} a"   'try to send Tab key &&  "a"  to UserForm1

But eventually, Excel vba offers enough methods to control that dialog directly, you don't need an external tool for that.
Probably someone with more vba experience can help out here?

Since I've switched to MSE from Kaspersky, there is one thing I miss: the "block all network traffic" button.

Have you ever actually used that feature? And if so, what was happening that made you decide to turn your network off?

I've seen that (big) switch in ZoneAlarm ever since it was introduced, years ago, and I never understood what would have to happen, that I should switch the connection off :o

I think this behaviour is due to a vista theme where the progress bars animate from zero to their current spot.
and since I use xp, I didn't understand at first what you meant.

here's a customized version - see if it solves the problem for you.
and heh, I had to choose a color, green looks classic.

Pfew, that a lot less distracting. And that green is really classic, close to my car's color, British Racing Green  :-*

When clicking a bit on the +1/-1 semi-button, it changes to some count (up and down with left/right mouseclicks), that has no relation to the number of app-titles shown, don't know what that's supposed to mean? The +1/-1 didn't return, but I could it to go to "15 items shown" (and more if I wanted to), though there are only 4 items actually showing :huh:

If it's just a number, then it would fit nicely next to the "Posts:" number, and it would probably in green or gold color.

1) I like the concept of the badge counting the number of entries (or "helps" in this case).  So it would be really cool if there was a count on the badge for the number of times someone has provided a good solution for the individual asking.

You mean we can build up Kudo's here :-* That's nice, but I'd be expecting some folks to get way bigger numbers there than would fit in the standard badge icons we currently have :tellme:

Hm, it's pretty useless for registering what app is been most active, as it's selected based on the windows title instead of app-class, as the title changes with ever new page I select using my browser, or changing directories with my file explorer.

And the constantly moving progress bar is quite annoying as well, after about 10 seconds :o.

I've been running TrueLaunchBar for years now, and there is a nice "Shut Down Computer" plugin that does just what you suggest. I don't think it's available as a standalone tool though.
Here's a screenshot

Hm, sorry you missed my post, earlier in this thread. I pointed to my blog to the script we used for JottiQ, that is modular, and can detect .NET 4, and download and install it during the setup phase if it's missing. I looked at the kynosarges page before, but I missed the automatic download feature, so I upgraded another initiative.

If you can wait a few hours (I'm now at the start of my working day, and I'm busy for the next 10 hours or so) I can update your script to have that incorporated.
The whirlwind at the JottiQ thread shows it's quite tested a few times ;) And it'd be for free ofcourse :D

The features Eóin lists are nice and all, but .msi installers always seem so godawful slow compared to solutions
IMHO that's some kind of a feature, it scares ppl away from MSI... :D

and how do you easily get files out of a .msi package without running the installer?

There's always Orca, a tool by Microsoft to edit an MSI, instructions for installation and use are here

Does this new caching stuff have impact on the refresh/update of the main forum page, at the bottom where the last 10 updated threads are shown? Now if I make a post, it takes a little while and a few screen refreshes for it to show up there :o

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Park Cursor Aside
« Last post by Ath on January 30, 2011, 09:37 AM »
More and more to my own surprise I'm beginning to love this tool. I've even enabled it at startup on my work-computer 8)
After some weeks of use I'm still not fed up with it, as I expected at first :-\

Now I myself am finding the park relative to window, better than relative to screen. You see, now the mouse cursor does not block my view of the document or field, but still is near by, specially on large monitor. Planning to make this as default for next version. But some more feedback on it will be appreciated.

I'd totally agree with this change, all I need now is the higher count of keystrokes and the black-list/white-list features. Don't rush, I understand you're busy with other stuff, but it would be really nice to have...

I've been fiddling with the script last night, and now it can also send mouse-clicks (so you won't need the separate ahk script for that). I'd call it v2.0 I guess :-\

I'll write down a readme, do some more testing, and wrap it all in one zip file for a little easier download, later tonight.
