I already use SFFS, but as I said those aren't backup programs.-J-Mac (August 22, 2011, 08:32 PM)
Ahh, one of my favorite videos. Funny to see it resurface, I recall it "going viral" a few years back. Great (and amazing) stuff! It's like the owl version of cephalopod mimicry.

If thats aimed at me, I had zero intention of causing any offense by leaving the title in place. This was NOT written by me (Except the little laugh about their website). This is how I Always Share website quotes, leaving the original title to be used as the title for my post.-Stephen66515 (August 22, 2011, 04:16 PM)
wheeling out comparisons to Nazis and Hitler when talking about the Facebook like button is ridiculous and an insult to the victims of the Nazis and World War II. Out of proportion even when compared to the arbitrary laws the nazis made...-iphigenie (August 21, 2011, 04:17 PM)

will try that,I removed that right-click titlebar to close bit (from Skwire). I was having bugginess at the time (with FF & FARR), & had a hunch it was related to that-tomos (August 21, 2011, 03:56 PM)
Yep, messing with default behaviour like that can result in some wonkiness. Keep in mind that you can always add a modifier to that RButton part (ctrl, alt, shift, win).-skwire (August 21, 2011, 04:04 PM)

Dell have a very good & cheap series of IPS monitors (recommended by Prad.de here)

For some reason the 23" one is available for as little as 230 euro - seems a crazy price to me for an IPS panel.
I bought the matte 22" 2209WA exactly a year ago (for around e300) - it has almost perfect RGB out of the box. It's great for the price (lighting at the sides [on my screen] is slightly uneven but only noticeable it when screen is an even grey

It should be possible to show the standard Windows shutdown dailog. At least, ShutdownWindows works on my WinXP system (Can't test it on Win7).-Winkie (August 18, 2011, 02:52 PM)
^^ Yes, I think you've nailed it. I remember this now. It was sort of confusing. I'm using the background scheduler because it's the easiest. But I am going to move things to a server soon and I'll probably go the service way for that. Thanks for digging that up!-superboyac (August 18, 2011, 03:09 PM)

@tomos: what AutoHotkey version do you use?-Winkie (August 18, 2011, 02:52 PM)

Don't see a Windows 7 equivalent on a quick check.-Steven Avery (August 17, 2011, 10:47 AM)
With version 5.49/a I had a problem with the "Background Scheduler" on two different machines (XP & Win7). It didnt start with windows/login as it should. There has been updates since which may have resolved this, but apparently the best thing to do (for those not in the know) is to install the "Service Scheduler".Interesting. I know in the older versions, there was some complicated setup of the service installation vs background running, etc. In the newer version, it seemed to be simplified to a start/stop button in the application that worked much better than before, and the installer stopped asking the user if they wanted to install the service. I've had no problems with it since, but if I wanted to have the service running in a more dedicated manner, I'd use the service. I like being able to easily start stop it right now with the button.

Why not just have the key combination bring up a system modal dialog with shutdown, reboot, sleep, and cancel options? Sure it's an extra click, but it'll cleanly bypass the oh shit factor.if it's possible,-Stoic Joker (August 18, 2011, 06:37 AM)
Change the shutdown line to:#Q::Shutdown, 8That will definitely work because I lifted it straight from the AHK help file-justice (August 18, 2011, 03:30 AM)
- everything gets killed, no questions asked (so far).
Re shutdown (remember, not tested yet), is there a way of raising the Alt+F4 windows shutdown dialogue?
That way I would get to choose exactly what I want, but more importantly I would have to confirm, so I would be covered in case of mistaken use of shortcut.-tomos (August 17, 2011, 03:09 PM)
