Just what is the Root of all evil...
Whilst I was only too happy Vista did away with XP's rather condescendingly childish "My Computer" nomenclature, is there a simpler method than attaching "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" to a shortcut for X2? It's not as condescending, to be sure, but it doesn't just ro...

For a slightly less nuts and bolts approach, try this handy little freeware programme designed specifically for finding/removing empty folders. A simple option can be set to not consider *.JPG's, thus considering the folder empty if no other file types exist. Very handy for managing those pesky mu...

...that feature was in the plan until xplorer2 got kitted with the miniscrap. Although having a single road through Thermopylae did prove fortuitous for the beleaguered Spartans, would it be such an evil were the civic authorities to put a little time and effort into road infrastructure and offer t...

...this is already in my list for the future Apparently in 2005 it was sardonically rumoured that the future was an epic place where pigs could fly for a month of Sundays through the high waters of Hell... But the Future had a lesson to be found in A short History of Greece: Who knew then that 2005...

...tersely speaking... unless you forcely press Ctrl+D twice... Ah ha, indeed true (it was the twice bit that had me flummoxed). Why twice? Though again it's seems a case of rules formulated for antiquated hardware rather than practical use. I understand the intent behind the limitation (and I et...

I like obscure post-titles. The world needs more of this sort of thing to annoy the straight laced behaviour Nazi's who believe moderation is not only for wine. Men were not born to grow up to be concise automatons. I'm unsure if this is related to x86, x64, x86 on x64, 11th century theology or ma...

Oliver is Alive and Well and Singing for his Dinner...
One of the common difficulties developers seem to encounter for Windows-oriented machines is the wide (and almost insurmountable) gulf of hardware that's out there. Just when you've got your filesystem happily buzzing away, there will inevitably come a cry from the balcony whingeing about why his N...

just to clarify i don't stick with VS6 because i'm cheap (i have VS2007) Wasn't implying anything, VS2008 was more of a suggestion for financially dodgy yet interested hobbyists who are frustrated with the 'Express' version's lack of x64 compilation and absent MFC support. Ever tried to create (le...

it looks like i'll manage to get by using my trusty VS6. Perhaps next week I'll blog about the 64 bit compilation process For testing purposes (and just fun), the Academic Version of VS2008 is available from Amazon. Quite inexpensive (regarding the commercial version) it can only be used for non-p...
