... However what's cool is that you can strip these characters from the abbreviation from your custom system to one of the keys integrated into DA.

Say what? :tellme:

We can sort the list of available programs by descending order of date so that the most recently installed software appears at the top.  Useful feature.

I read a very handy tip today on the program's blog: Set two dots as suffix for your abbreviation and uncheck Confirmation box. That way when you type the abbreviation and put a couple of dots at the end, it gets triggered. Much easier than pressing a shift or F12 key for example.

Personally, I think a single dot is even better and easier.

General Software Discussion / Re: Tranparency in IE 6
« Last post by sri on October 10, 2007, 11:03 PM »
I think IE6 is as or more lackluster in engine speed than IE7. And both are not exactly resource friendly, a issue which gets more accentuated by the use of Maxthon 2, which was reported as a major hog by some DC members.

Maxthon classic is the best thing to use if you have to use IE.

Agreed that FF is a memory hog but w/ 2 GB RAM, I don't care.

It's not that you don't have options. Why don't you use FireFox or Opera?

Perhaps you all find AHK to be easy, but I didn't. For non-programming minds like mine, Macro Express is great.

DA does look better and its GUI scores over PE. But PE is equally good/fast once you familiarize yourself w/ it. I use PE not just for expanding text but for launching programs and websites as well.

General Software Discussion / PowerPro bar question
« Last post by sri on October 03, 2007, 09:31 AM »
I would like to have my only visible PowerPro bar to be centered and at the top of my screen (auto hide). I currently have the following settings:

Screenshot - 03-Oct-07 , 7_57_29 PM.jpg

but the bar doesn't appear centered and is docked to the left!?

Also I would like the bar height to be the same as those of the icons.

Any idea how to do these?

tinny, did you try the free Phrase Express. I am curious to understand why you would pay up for DA when you can have Phrase Express for free.

May be one of the add-ons is the trouble maker? Try disabling all of them.

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings

Make sure direct connection to the internet (the top one) is selected and not the proxy option.

Stay away from Partition Tragic. Use Acronis Disk Director instead.

General Software Discussion / Command to empty recycle bin?
« Last post by sri on September 27, 2007, 09:37 PM »
I want to create a button for emptying recycle bin and put it at the top of my screen using PowerPro. I tried

cmd.exe del \C C:\RECYCLER\?*.*

but that didn't delete the contents.

Any ideas? (w/o using another program like http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html or http://www.appdeploy...ds/detail.asp?id=298, if possible)

« Last post by sri on September 27, 2007, 12:03 PM »
Wow! I'm impressed - I just received a receipt, mini-manual, and a CD ROM containing the latest release and my registration file for Total Commander! My $34 investment is looking better and better all the time. The file manager is awesome and this kind of attention to detail is phenomenal  :Thmbsup: Christian Ghisler is a class act.

Total Commander? Are you referring to the ugly duckling? How does it compare w/ DOpus in your opinion?

No, Flip3D most definitely have some usability issues. I wonder who at Microsoft figured it would be a good idea to display your open applications like a stack of photographs? It's not exactly the easiest way to do things, as you can't just scan over the screen with your eyes to locate the correct one. What I would recommend to anyone that want some of the convenience of a program like "Switcher 2" but doesn't want to install 3'rd party software, is to use this very nice tip from Cybernetnews and just increase the thumbsize of the regular alt+tab instead :)

I must concur! The AERO Win+Tab "Flip 3D" feature is very usable when I don't have Switcher2 open (or on other Vista AERO PC's). With the added "Cool!" effect of the person who owns the machine it is a fast way for me to work with 10+ windows at the same time. Just wish you could close them with it without having to see it first.

I use PowerPro to bring up a menu (upon pressing Ctrl) of open windows from which I can easily select a window to close. Easy and convenient.

f0dder: Rapget is a dedicated manager to download only from rapidshare, not any others. Also it lacks several features that other standard DL managers like Internet Download Manager, FlashGet have.

Carol: PSTF isn't like FBE (which, by the way, I also use).

PSTF will collect the specified tray icons and arrange them all under one. Check out this small flash movie:

http://screencast.com/t/WQfuHObc8

It will remember which icons you want managed by it and will present you w/ a nice clean tray every time.
