Re: An Explorer like XP for Windows 7 and beyond...

From my personal experience WXP X86 with AMD dual-core and 4GB RAM runs noticeable faster than W7 X64. I especially care about it because if a system or application is slower, it means you do less in the same time. [...] Other than that I'm not a fan of all-in-one applications, I'd rather go for us...

Re: Use your USB drive to lock you screen

If you have a bluetooth mobile phone, BTProximity would be even simpler (untested!)... BTProximity is an application for Windows Vista and Windows 7 that can detect when your bluetooth-enabled phone has come into range, and unlock your computer. When the device moves out of range, the computer is au...

Re: Extract multiple files from USB HDD

The hardcore console way: :mrgreen: Put the code below in a text file an rename it to locate.bat (or .cmd). Move it somewhere on your %PATH% (%WINDIR% is the easiest choice). Open a windows console anywhere on the USB HDD and type "locate *.[extension]" and it will list all relevant files ...

Re: Universal Extractor Update

Since the debate is verging on free/open source software philosophy, I reckon the time is right for the introduction of a couple of 'apropos' references: The first is to my preferred guide in such matters, Eben Moglen, of "anything worth copying is worth sharing" fame; http://en.wikipedia....

Re: Universal Extractor Update

Please don't. Reverse engineering. You may not reverse engineer or disassemble the SOFTWARE PRODUCT or compiled scripts that were created with the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. Is that so? Is Universal Extractor compiled AutoIt ? If so, and while I was pretty indifferent to the AutoIt / AutoHotKey licensing wa...

Re: Universal Extractor Update

IANAL, but it seems to me that the spirit of the GPL leans toward avoiding software lockout -- it is there to obstruct private annexation of public code (the P in its name); as long as Gora keeps those updates coming and isn't deriving material profit from Universal Extractor , he's not quite a GPL ...
