I’m lazy as fuck so I created a script that unrars rar files and throws those rar files away afterwards, leaving just the directory and the extracted file!

Recently I installed Chrome (just like all the other nerds on teh interweb), played around with it a bit, but there is no click like there was with FF.

After upgrading my Forceware Geforce drivers, I couldn’t connect to my machine via Remote Desktop.

I recently installed SP3 (duh) and whatever I tried I couldn’t get more than 256 colours when connecting via Remote Desktop. No matter what configuration in the RDP client (256 or 15/16/24/32bit) all the icons on the remote desktop were ugly as hell. Here’s the fix.

Why can’t I connect to the console of my brand spanking new Vista SP1 or Server 2008 rig?

Have you ever wanted to know when you installed your Windows? You can use Lavalys Everest to check that date, but Windows includes all the necessary tools to extract that date!

If you have plenty of shares in 1 direcory, but the permissions on the share level are all set to “everyone read”, and you want everyone to have “full” rights, you have 2 options: One involves clicking a lot, the other option involves reading on.

If you don’t like the Luna XP style (who does anyway) and you want to have a Windows 2000 style logon dialog (so without the welcome screen, and without fast user switching), then copy the following in a hurray.reg file and doubleclick it :)

In Remote Desktop Connection Client I didn’t have a choice for a 1280×1024 resolution, the list went from 1024×768 to 1440×900. As a result I couldn’t run the Remote Desktop fullscreen on my second screen. Mmm … maybe all this isn’t very interessting, but what follows should be :p

There has to be a law somewhere against that loud system beep on Windows Vista, because it’s so loud it has to be illegal! But don’t worry, I’ll show you how to disable the system beep once and for all.
