General Software Discussion / How to add/delete files of an installer?
« Last post by sri on September 27, 2006, 05:48 AM »
I received an .exe built by someone using InstallShield that copies bunch of folders and files to user's machine upon installation. I need to modify few of these files and repackage the .exe.

How do I do this other than via the expensive InstallShield? Any freeware?

Thanks.

That is a "User review", Cnet have not done "Editors review" of newer version so they use an old quote from 2004. http://www.acasystem...repro/award_cnet.htm Normal procedure...

Can you show me the Download.com(CNET) Review you have quoted on your site at its original source, i.e., at Download.com(CNET)?

Also, why do you write "it's free" on your web site when it is not? Free (30-day?) trial version doesn't qualify a software as a free.

General Software Discussion / KO Approach
« Last post by sri on September 22, 2006, 10:46 AM »
A desktop utility application designed to speed up file navigation in Windows Explorer. Unlike the traditional way of accessing files where a window needs to be opened to reveal a folder's content, Approach offers a convenient and easy to navigate set of hierachical menus.

Just click on any folder in Windows Explorer, hold down the mouse key and a menu will appear, displaying the contents of the selected folder as a list of items. Highlight folder icons to expand sub-menus and move further down your directory structure, or select a file to open it in the same the way you do it from the Start menu. It's that simple.

Nice to see so many Opera lovers. It's a fantastic piece of software. A browser that vrooms past you like a bullet-train leaving you breathless. Okay, that was bit too much..but you get the idea.

General Software Discussion / XPize - Give your windows a fresh look
« Last post by sri on September 20, 2006, 10:11 AM »
XPize is a GUI enhancer that replaces most of the non-XP icons, avis and bmps that Microsoft has always overlooked. It also includes some extras and a reloader, which you can use after visiting Windows Update.

Homepage: http://xpero.msfn.org/


Before: http://xpero.msfn.or.../personal/xpize2.gif
After: http://xpero.msfn.or.../personal/xpize1.gif

I've tried all the three major transformation packs available out there namely Flyakite (converts your windows into a Mac OSX look), Vista Transformation Pack and XPize.

XPize is the only one which didn't slow down my system. YMMV.

I went thru the other forum thread now and agree w/ what housetier said.

While I haven't found any speed improvements, at the same time I didn't find it slowing down as well.

Living Room / OpenDNS - safer, faster and smarter DNS
« Last post by sri on September 19, 2006, 11:36 PM »

This is a nice free option to change your DNS servers to from the default ones provided by your ISP.

DNS, the Domain Name System, translates the human addresses of websites and servers (like wikipedia.org) to the numerical address used by computers (207.142.131.203).

Why is OpenDNS faster than other DNS services?

Two things make OpenDNS faster than similar services. First, OpenDNS runs a really big, smart cache, so every OpenDNS user benefits from the activities of the broader OpenDNS user base. Second, OpenDNS runs a high-performance network which is geographically distributed and serviced by several redundant connections. OpenDNS responds to your query from the nearest location. That means we're very fast (and extremely reliable, to boot).

Why is OpenDNS smarter?

We fix typos in the URLs you enter whenever we can. For example, if you're using OpenDNS craigslist.og will lead directly to craigslist.org.

How do I start using OpenDNS?

Change your DNS settings to the OpenDNS servers:

    * 208.67.222.222
    * 208.67.220.220

OpenDNS is free to use.

Here's a recent testimonial from our IRC channel:

[09:56] <Gothi[c]> srikat: thanks, openDNS seems to be working allooooot faster :)


I've been using it ever since it came out and have had no problems so far. It works in the background and we hardly notice its usage.

General Software Discussion / Few Mouse and Keyboard freeware
« Last post by sri on September 19, 2006, 09:42 PM »
Volumouse: provides you a quick and easy way to control the sound volume on your system - simply by rolling the wheel of your wheel mouse.

It allows you to define a set of rules for determining when the wheel will be used for changing the sound volume. For example: You can configure Volumouse to use your mouse wheel for volume control when the Alt key is hold down, when the left mouse button is down, when the mouse cursor is over the taskbar, and so on...


Key2click: offers an alternative for windows users by replacing the mouse buttons with two keyboard keys. It differs from windows 'mouse keys' in emulating the mouse keys exactly.


Qliner hotkeys is a free and open source keyboard productivity environment. Just hold the Windows key for three seconds and up pops a on screen Keyboard with icons on the keys that are configured. Hotkeys is smart in the way it launches applications and opens documents. When a key combination is pressed hotkeys will first try to find an existing instance of the requested application or document and bring that to the front.


Are there any other mouse and keyboard related freeware that you know and are useful? Let us know  :Thmbsup:

General Software Discussion / MouseTool - Let this program click the mouse for you
« Last post by sri on September 16, 2006, 08:52 AM »
MouseTool decreases your reliance on mouse buttons by automatically clicking them whenever you pause the mouse. Desktop items can be dragged and dropped without having to click. You can set the time delay, and the number of pixels the mouse can drift without clicking. Left-, right-, and double-clicks can be made on your keyboard by using hot-keys.

The last freeware version of this program is good enough and can be downloaded from here.

Do you use this program? I usually use this at work in the evenings when my fingers get tired of all the typing through the day. I just move the mouse to where I wanna click and this program will click it for you.

General Software Discussion / Re: Firefox Extensions: Your favorite or most useful

housetier:

What's your del.icio.us username?

I hardly organize my del. bookmarks and it's high time I do it. I've created few more tag bundles but it gets really tedious after a while.

No, I don't have any such tutorial handy. But recently I've been giving some thought about the tags I enter while adding a bookmark to my del. I just close my eyes and try to think "If I want to get to this again after say 2 months, what tag would I first use to search?". This method has been working pretty good for me in that, anytime someone asks for that website or software I go to that tag in my del. and find it.
