Phew.   :)  I was testing everything I could think of in my VM.  However, this is no reason it shouldn't have worked from your original directory (unless it's some Vista-specific crap).  I even made the exact same folder path you were trying and it worked fine.  Odd.  At any rate, I'm glad you got it working.   :Thmbsup:

Do you have PST installed under your Program Files directory?  If so, move it out of there and try it somewhere else e.g. c:\apps\pst (or something). 

@Lanux: Are you running Vista?  Does PST work for you?  It works for Paarkhi (he's running Vista) and it works for me under a Vista VM.

I've done only minimal testing so feedback is required.  There will be a quiz in the morning.   :D

skwire, when I try it from the run box I had the command window pop up for about 3ms. and no file was output, so I ran it in a command window and that's the message I recieved.

Are you running with administrator rights?  I don't have much experience with Vista and the whole UAC thing...
4931
You're getting that message where and when?
4932
Hmmmm...that seems to be the same as the Vista VM i test on (not that I expected any different).  Two things, please:

1) Do the entries in the PST's drop-downs correspond to the GUIDs you see in that output?
2) Please run the following from the Run box:  powercfg /list > c:\output.txt

Attach the output.txt file to your post.  Thanks.

Select the option again.  After doing that, the menu item should be unticked and the context menu entry should be gone.

skwire, I would love to but the window only stays open for a few milliseconds and I can't find an output file anywhere. Brian

Click Start, Run, type: cmd (and click OK).  A command prompt will pop up.  Please run the command in there and paste the output here.  Thanks.

Could you extend it to handle this case:

I think your requirements might be a bit out of scope for a simple text file cracker like this.  That being said, I promise to take a deeper look at your request.

Would it be hard to modify this script so the user can specify the 'split target'?

For example, rather than split at blank lines, have it split at every instance of '=========='. I could then insert that string into the main text file wherever I want it to split, such as at the beginning of a section, a chapter, etc. Thanks!

I have this almost done.  As usual, I'm struggling to come up with a name for it.  At this point, I have "Text File Cracker."   ;D  Can any of you all think of anything better?  <looks squarely at cranioscopical>

v1.0.1 - 2009-09-27
    + Added ability to set mouse speed.
    * Changed up the parameter syntax.  Please adjust any of your scripts accordingly.

Website | Download

Run MouseAccelToggler.exe with one or both of the following parameters:

    accel=[on|off|toggle]  This will turn mouse acceleration on, off, or toggle its state.
    speed=[1-20]             This will set the mouse speed.
   
    Example:  c:\path\to\MouseAccelToggler.exe accel=on speed=8

Also...if you run the exe without any parameters, it will pop up a box showing your current speed setting.

Just a quick update: yes, this simple software has solved my problem. However, being able to toggle pointer speed settings would also be preferred, since in my specific case, mouse acceleration isn't quite enough to make the touchpad respond the way I'd like. Instead of simply toggling a single setting, the software would also have to retrieve, store, and apply two alternating speed settings.

Adding the speed setting stuff is easy.  Give me a few minutes.

I do realize that this would increase the scope of the software, so I choose to be happy with what I have right now, especially since I'm in a little financial difficulty at the moment and don't have a roll of quarters to drop in some kind programmer's bucket.  :-[

Please don't ever worry about stuff like this.  I'm happy to help.

If you would like to improve it, I think it would be best improved by having mouse sensitivity and/or acceleration options, and store/load all of them according to which one you're using.

Just to clarify, you would like to be able to set the pointer speed value, right?

However, I am skeptical about correcting for typos

As well you should be.  For the record, I just tried a simple "notpead" in Blaze and it didn't guess "notepad" as the proper match.  Several other intentional simple typos resulted in the wrong guess, too.  I know this sounds like I'm coming to mouser and FARR's defense, but, I'm just sayin'...   ;)

I am primarily a one-handed typist, a righty, with the left hand only playing a minor role in my typing. I am probably the fastest 2-3 finger typist you have ever seen.  :D
One handed typing though seems much more mysterious.

A video demonstrating this uber-ninja technique, p'raps?   :D
