Downloaded soluto.
Fucked up the installation. Ran it. Restarted computer. Got like 5+ bluescreens (this is normal) before I could have a successful startup Soluto tells me it is having an error. It gives me a link to their site. Their site doesn't exist/is down, when it was fine a second ago. Cry. (The link they gave)  |

Congrats, you saved .5s. Also not jelly because I boot my computer every other month or so. Stand-by ftw.

For all Chrome users that use middle-clicking or ctrl+click to open links in new tabs, here is a must: middle button new tab
I should note that it fixes the issue on Sen when you ctrl+click on a subforum and it loads the current tab as well as the new one. Learn how to make EUDs: [EUD] A Mapmaker's Guide for Creating EPDs

Multi-Touch:
Most laptops use a synaptics touchpad by default. Practically all of those use a relatively new pad, which by default supports multi touch gestures. However, many laptop manufacturers do not "support" it out of the box due to patent restrictions. Apple I think. All you need to do is install some drivers which have multi touch enabled from some other company that wasn't too cheap to add it in. You can read more about it here if you want, but it's a pretty simple process. You can even download synaptic's latest drivers that THEY release and utilize everything right there. 2 finger scroll lets you do this with supported drivers, but I prefer synaptic's scrolling method over 2 finger scroll's. What 2 finger scroll does is let you change 2 finger tap and 3 finger tap to middle/right button. I prefer 2 fingers middle click, since I use middle click to close and open tabs in browsers/windows. I use middle click more than I do right click, that's for damn sure. If I need right click, there's a real button for that anyway. If you want to you can make either button do either thing. If you find your touchpad doesn't work as well, try all the settings in synaptics, there's one at the very end that lets you set a ridiculously small area for "activating" the touchpad, with the edges disabled. This is a great wallpaper to use if you want to go into an epileptic fit every time you sit down in front of your laptop, which I guess is a better option than watching Naruto.

Does anyone have a program with which I can use to open a certain "set" or "session" of windows for explorer.exe? (I'm running Windows 7 x64.)
When I'm working on certain projects, I tend to have a multitude of different folder windows open at the same time, so I would really love to have a program that saves all of these open folders so that I can quickly resume working in case of bullshit like power loss (in which case I can't use the built-in functionality available in Folder Options). I've tried Googling, but I think I must be using the wrong terms or something. I keep getting things like saving/resuming states of applications, which is overkill and I honestly am not sure if it would be compatible with my workflow.  |

I was aware of this method and I have used it in the past. However, it is somewhat tedious, and it would be nice if there was an automated process that would loop through all open explorer windows, retrieve the addresses, and write it to a BAT file.
Honestly, I could probably write this program myself if I looked into the APIs Microsoft probably provides, but the reason why I haven't done so is that it's a bit overkill and that someone probably has already done this. |

After various windows updates and things, the free space on SSD boot drive dropped below 6gb, which made it appear red in the (My) Computer display. I used trusty WinDirStat to find some of the culprits, and one them was the Winsxs folder inside Windows.
Googling around indicates that this folder, while large, *cannot* be deleted without potentially seriously harming your computer. It holds various backups and references to important windows files. However after you have installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (and I believe it might work for Vista as well - I recommend googling), it is possible to run a command that consolidates the older versions pre-service pack and frees up the space. I believe this means that you won't be able to uninstall the service pack, but if you've been running it for months without any issues I can't see any harm in that. Running the command on my computer cut about 5 gigs out of my Winsxs directory. http://blog.brimur.com/?p=854 Googling the command will probably find you other references to it as well. But it worked fine for me. It didn't sit at 100% as indicated, not for very long anyway, although after I rebooted the "Updating Windows" screen stuck around on 100% for about a minute, I was starting to think it might have stalled but it resumed.

The site you linked to requires registration. If you send me (or post) the list including description and links I can add them to the OP here on SEN which is probably more convenient for everyone.
