another suggestion, mouser.. give an option to display the bookmarks file-path in the Location column or the status-bar instead of both showing the url as it is now..

good update to include all browsers but the duplicate thingy keeps coming back.. i think firefox keeps backups in two places inside the profiles folder, one as a sub-folder called "bookmarkbackups" and another as a file: "bookmarks.bak"..

want to be able to bring up wordweb with definition for the word you type in farr in exactly the same way as you cite for slickrun? add the following alias...

yes, i agree.. over time users may have accumulated or created their own set of aliases and this way, it will be easier to compare and share them..
another suggestion, can the hot-key to launch all items in search aliases be reverted back to Ctrl+Enter instead of current Ctrl+Alt+Enter..

Yahoo Answers $$1 |http://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AgRBozjdbsrkgDkxb6e1zfcjzKIX?p=$$1

as for search folder aliases, you can add the 'Quick Launch' folder as some installers will place a shortcut there and myself throw a few shortcuts there..

[Select]

%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

btw, a suggestion, how about aliases & search folders in a separate ini file?

General Software Discussion / AllChars is now Open Source Version 4 BETA has been released

« Last post by lanux128 on March 25, 2007, 10:03 PM »

My favourite keyboard extender is now Open Source & into beta version 4..

Introduction

AllChars for Windows is a utility which adds a missing functionality to Windows: an easy way to make accents like é Ü ç î æ and special characters like € ƒ ² ‰ © £ ± ß ° ½ ¿ » ™ „ available within every Windows program.

AllChars for Windows is FREEWARE.

AllChars for Windows works with Win9x, Win2K and WinXP. The Euro currency symbol € is supported if you have the right Windows fonts (see the readme.txt file for more information).

AllChars for Windows version 2 also offers macros. With this you can make AllChars enter any string of characters in your application by just hitting two or more keys.

And finally, AllChars for Windows makes it possible to change the period in the numeric keyboard to the decimal symbol as defined in the International settings of Windows. In most European countries this is a comma instead of a period.

One of the best file copy tools is supposed to be RichCopy, a multithreaded file copier with a nice GUI. Unfortunately its a Microsoft internal tool only and though there are many some download links on google, none of them work.

given Micro$oft's reputation, it might just be a vapor-ware..
