Copy File Path

Be Shifty

Quickly Copy a File's Path to the Clipboard

In the pre-Vista days, coping a file or folder path to the clipboard meant you had to right click, select Properties, highlight the path, and select Copy. That's more steps then are in a Broadway musical! To perform the same action in Vista, hold the Shift key when right clicking and select Copy as Path.

Assign Hotkeys to Common Tasks

Quick, try to open the Task Manager without lighting your hand from the mouse. Unless you have unusually long fingers or a third hand growing from your torso, you can't hit CTRL-ALT-DEL combination without contorting into an unnatural position. Luckily, there's an easier workaround. Navigate to C:Windows\System32 and create a shortcut for taskmgr.exe, and assign a new hotket combination in the Shortcut tab. Use this trick for any commonly used application.

Codec Cornucopia

Improve Video Viewing with a Codec Library

Life would be so much easier if all videos clips adopted a unified standard, but instead we're forced to hunt down codec after codec to play an assortment of videos. At least, that's how we used to do it, until we found ffdshow troyouts (http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/). Ffdshow sports an expansive codec library, several filters, and the ability to display pertinent details about the file it's playing. CPU-utilization monitoring and the ability to grab screenshots add icing to the cake.

"No to All"

forum.datacad.com :: View topic - Windows Explorer - "No to All":

"Whenever you copy multiple files from one location to another, Windows prompts you with an overwrite request if duplicate entries already exist. You can select “Yes to All” but there is no “No to All”. If you hold down the [Shift] key the first time you select “No”, Windows will act as if you selected “No to All”."

n case it helps:

My C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash folder has two files with "FlashUtil" as part of the name:
FlashUtil9e.exe and NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
...Both file properties describe it as "Adobe Flash Player Helper 9.0 r115". I did a google search for "FlashUtil" and found this:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewCon ... &sliceId=2

Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later.

The utility file FlashUtil.exe is installed with Flash Player 9.0.28.0 and later in the C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash directory. FlashUtil.exe includes functionality required by Windows Vista and by the auto-update notification process. The previous utility (UninstFl.exe) is no longer required by or installed with Flash Player.

The utility is versioned with the control. For example, FlashUtil9b.exe is installed with the control Flash9b.ocx. FlashUtil.exe also contains several options that developers can use to switch between player and debugger versions during testing.


Also this:

The Windows plug-in installer also places a broker application called
NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe in the same directory as the Flash Player Plug-in DLL.
NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe includes functionality required by Windows Vista and by the auto-
update notification process


You could also do a search of Adobe's Macromedia Flash Player forum to see what else you can find out about that utility.

Apple hints at something new - International Herald Tribune

Apple is widely expected to be getting ready to refresh its line of notebook computers, and there is some speculation that it may introduce a new kind of device that is smaller than a laptop but larger than an iPhone. In several ways, Apple executives hinted that this new product would compete aggressively on price with rival devices.

CNET presentation:

iPhone bug & potential fix

Bug: one or more of the app store apps stops working (opens, hangs for a second, then returns to home screen). or maybe crashes the phone. try this:


Apple - Support - Discussions - Apps won't open ...:

perform 'Authorize computer' (in the Store menu) in iTunes

run 'Transfer Purchases from xx's iPhone' (in the File menu). All your apps should then appear in iTunes, in the applications tab of your phone.

With your iPhone still docked, pick an app and delete it from the iPhone

sync your phone

unplug the iPhone, plug it back in, and sync again

Wonders of wonders, every single app should now work again.

It's a pain, and will no doubt be fixed, but that's a simple solution for now.

I recommend choosing an app to remove/reinstall that does not save any settings - perhaps a gimmicky thing like iBeer because I did lose my saved settings for Bejeweled.

Hope this helps someone.
