I recommend a monitor with calibrated colors, for just a bit more money you get really better picture. It's like going from old CRT to OLED. Compare side to side in store if possible to see for yourself.

Here are some c++ and c# apps that you can rework to your needs: https://github.com/T800G/PIMphonyHelper https://github.com/T800G/IEmaximizer

To solve the problem you have to cut off the head, not the foot.

Windoze10 has become the ultimate spyware...

Stick with free Avast or buy NOD32, they are good. Stay away from Symantec/Norton, it's a waste of money, it makes my Core i5 machine at work run slower than my 6 years old laptop.

I prefer headphones and not have to hear other people at all. I don't work in a such happy place, but lately I'm working on a full-time project so I love to have an excuse to tell other people to take their * somewhere else ;P

I can recommend SyncBack, it is easy to use and has more options than you'll ever need. (just get version 3.2.26, latest version has cluttered options interface) http://i40.tinypic.com/2a6j9zl.png Haven't tried FreeFileSync yet.

I thought of getting to know Linux system in general once, but I gave up simply because reading MSDN is sufficient to learn all those bits and pieces. Linux will never have anything like it, even XCode surpasses their attempts by far.

I used to show them so I could change extensions, first it was mostly RAR/CBR,ZIP/CBZ, lately I often see *.MPG instead of MP4. Grab this and this, if needed, and you're good to go without extensions. Installing Windows can be fun if you do it in a different way. When I bought new HD for my laptop, I put it in an external usb case, linked it to VirtualBox, sysprep-ed and installed/updated everything, finally transferred all my custom settings and registry tweaks. All that while listening to music and websurfing, less than 1.5 hour. Then I just swapped hard drives and waited for finale.

In short - I'm interested which interfaces are supported on CompressedFolder COM object. http://i47.tinypic.com/14m49xx.png You can use OLE/COM Object Viewer and post screenshot/write down interfaces.

I hope I'm asking in the right place. I don't have Win8 machine available and my computer can't run Win8 in a virtual machine, so I'm asking for help from someone with Win8 machine to find out why my code doesn't work in Win8. I received request for a small project, namely Explorer thumbnail shell extension for OpenRaster (*.ora) files saved by the MyPaint application. OpenRaster files have the same structure as OpenOffice files (*.odt, etc...), the thumbnail is stored as "Thumbnails\thumbnail.png" inside the zip file. I've made similar thumbnail shell extensions before and I have working code from previous projects but it's a bit more complicated. This time I got inspired by article I found here (Google translate FTW!): http://eternalwindows.jp/installer/zip/zip02.html Apparently you can use CompressedFolder zip storage handler COM object (from zipfldr.dll) as described in the article, pretty elegant and lightweight even though it doesn't support Unicode file names inside zip. My code finds and extracts thumbnail.png inside the zip and loads it with ATL::CImage. I've made this activex dll (ATL project, source + 32/64bit binaries): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61407853/orathumbs1002.zip I use VC2008 Express + Win7 SDK + ATL7 headers (from WDK) and I started off with VC6 ATL project skeleton. Everything compiles without warnings and everything worked fine both on XP and Win7 32/64-bit but I'm told it doesn't work on Win8 x64, the dll is registered and thumbnail cache cleared but no thumbnails are generated, and I couldn't say where's the problem without access to Win8 machine. Here is a small Win32/ATL dialog project that tests the extracting code: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61407853/ThumbTest.zip Inside the zip is the source, compiled exe (debug release) and 2 test files (1 good and 1 with invalid thumbnail). The dialog accepts dropped files and shows the thumbnail if successful. It pops up a messagebox with a description of HRESULT error and calling location in source file (just hit Ctrl+C to copy text from messagebox). I don't know what is the problem, is my activex dll code broken or is the extracting code broken, do I need to compile with VS2012/WinSDK8 or something else, so if someone could help me track down the problem (compile and debug), it would be greatly appreciated. My apologies if my post

Good find! :thumbsup:

I say we call it METAL! :) \m/

Try this: 2400 Free "Farm-Fresh Web Icons" You can modify them if you need a better match to the text like I did here.

1am-7am That's nothing, I used to play Far Cry for 16 hours, start at Saturday 8pm, end at Sunday 10am. Ah... the good old days :cool:

Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer. AFAIK that would be for IE7. You might also take a look at article 904846 but those numbers are probably made up.
