@ja2038: Well, I was wrong; KB971033 *can* be installed silently. (which is actually good IMYO, since 905474 was a pain when applying it to tens of XP systems, unless you were extracting the update files and bootstrapping the installation yourself)

@motang: The problems AP had at the time was that they (the authors) downloaded and then hosted the updates themselves, which were then redistributed through AP.

@ja2038: Pretty much like 905474 (Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications), it's imposibble to install the update silently, so even if you select it there should be a dialog to force you to go through clicking "next" quite a few times.

@johnwait: Well, I figured mshorts' fork is the newest. Now, time to play...

Is adampash's branch of Belvedere the latest one? Or is it because the newest version(s) haven't been committed in a while? Because I'd love to dig back into messy COM/AHK and see if I can get the iTunes support implemented. For the one-rule-multiple-actions, this is more of a UI problem.

@virgilstar: I do presentations/dev/debugging running a mini VM lab on my laptop, which is limited to 8GB RAM physical (T400), sometimes running a quite few VMs at a time (servers and workstations). I have a script that shuts down about 1.5GB-worth of services and background/tray apps that I otherwise would normally…

OK. Aren't a few extra CPU cycles still *many* times faster than a few extra clicks? Because, you know, with the "Windows Search" feature *enabled*, it just happens that I can just hit the Windows button and start typing "turn windows" to get there, without having to through the control panel and find, in the maze of…

@Dinh Viet Huy: Exactly what I was talking about earlier. Some editors (including the Kai Liu' modified Notepad2 version and The Programmer's Notepad) makes use of a feature of the NT lineage of Windows, namely 'Image File Execution Options' debugging.

@johnwait: Oh well, I don't normally like to talk to myself, but it looks like the Extended version of Notepad2 already supports IFEO the same way Programmer's Notepad does it (since earlier, at that). So there you go.

@johnwait: Sorry, I really meant IFEO [Image File Execution Options]

I use Programmer's Notepad, and I just learned today that as of the latest dev version it supports being launched from IEFO, which is *way* easier to use as a way to replace notepad than actually, physically replacing it. I hope they do the same for Notepad2.

@johnwait: After verification: Swedish.

@bigpointyforceps: That's some European keyboard layout; I would say either Spanish, Portuguese, German or Italian, or even Swiss or some other.

@GldRush98: Unless the tool uses MD5 hashes itself...

@Blake380: Yes, unless you decide to install it on some other location, side-by-side with your current Firefox version/build.

This is basically Firefox 3.5 RC3 (signed 24-jun-09) that they decided to push as the final release (it wasn't branded as an RC anyway), so people who already had installed RC3 have indeed the final release.

@Psonar: Or

@GuimiAlfaro: Although I doubt such a hotkey will make its way within Windows itself, the How-To Geek has you covered there: Keyboard Ninja: Toggle Hidden Files with a Shortcut Key in ....

So, am I the only one who whipped up an AHK script when Vista came out, and XP users had to give up on a customizable toolbar for Explorer windows?
