I find music in a foreign language works well - far less distracting as my mind isn't trying to process the lyrics.

MovieMaker In Windows 7The MovieMaker in Vista is better than XP's version (i.e. more functional and more stable) and runs just great under Windows 7. I've got MM6 from x64 Vista running fine under x64 Win7. If I had the link to the article I used to do this handy I'd post it. Nag me if you want it. Cheers.

Grausian SyndromeWhich is why I run VS2005 etc in a Virtual Machine. Snapshots and backups of the VM have saved me countless hours... and if an install fails you just revert back - no need to uninstall and pray. Sure it runs a wee bit slower... faster hardware fixes that.

Has the time come for development on a virtual machine?I've been developing in a VM for years now. The convenience of portability and the reassurance of immediate restoration in case of hard drive/system failure or accidentally formatting your hard drive (it happens when you are playing around with scripting DiskPart!) has been wonderful. VMWare Workstation 6.x has been my home for a while. :)

Treeview - preventing node selectionHi, Upon clicking a treeview node, the following events fire (correct me if I am mistaken) - Click and AfterSelect. In the Click event I want to perform a test and optionally prevent the node that was clicked upon from being selected. I think I have to prevent the execution flow from reaching AfterSelect? Is there a way of "cancelling" the click event or otherwise achieving this? I do have a work around - a form level boolean variable that I set True if I want to cancel - in AfterSelect if this is set True then it exits the AfterSelect event handler function. But this seems at best a kludge. Many thanks in advance! - Anthony
