Microsoft Useful Apps and Powertoys for Windows

I am listing some of very important utilities that Microsoft shares with people. These can be very useful in day to day job. Some of the tools are also reffered as PowerToys by Microsoft. (And some of the contents are directly fro Microsft website!!)

WinDbg is a tool for debugging any Crash in a program. This tool automatically syncs up the required pdb files ie. The symols file from the MSDN and enables your machine to debug the problems. Refer http://http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx You can have a dump of your crash and investigate, or contact your administrator. In addition, you can also log a radar (defect/bug) on the Microsoft. (Also See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinDbg)

ClearType Tuner: Dramatically improves font legibility on some LCD screens. For more details over this see http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/tune.aspx

Image Resizer: This tool adds a new menu when you right-click a photo on your PC. Just click Resize Pictures to change an image's dimensions without opening an editor. (You may even try this tool to test how your photo looks in your Splash Profile at MeOnShow.com

CD Slide Show Generator: With this PowerToy you can view images burned to a CD as a slide show. The Generator works downlevel on Windows 9x machines as well.

Virtual Desktop Manager: Manage up to four desktops from the Windows taskbar with this PowerToy.

Taskbar Magnifier: Use this PowerToy to magnify part of the screen from the taskbar.

Tweak UI: If you don't already have Tweak UI, get it. This essential OS tweaking tool offers more granular control over your privacy settings and operations, and even over the way you log in to your PC (plus much more). It should be one of the first things you install on any new computer.

Alt-Tab Replacement: Adds previews of each page when you switch between open applications using -.

SyncToy: Improves the task of synchronizing files among multiple machines, especially compared with Windows Briefcase.

These tools can really help incrrease your productivity!!

Using Process Explorer in Windows XP Server Vista and Win7

In Order to know what all processes are running and to forcibly terminate any you need to explore Process explorer. In Windows platform this can come easily by opening Taskbar. Ctrl+Alt+Delete and selecting Taskbar is historically the method to reach there.

You can instead of killing a process, suspend it (right-click on a process to see this option). This is useful in the case if program stuck in an endless loop.

In addition, if you wanna know what is the process identification (term better known as PID historically since the advent of Unix based Systems), then Open the program, then switch to Process Explorer. In the top-right corner there is a target icon (see concentric circles). Clicking this icon and dragging it onto the program you want to see, the Process Explorer will highlight the process.

Spending Vacations with Happiness

Today is December 24th, 2010, and Adobe is all set for a winter shut down. Everyone seems so excited with their plans of spending vacations in hand. Emails have already been circulated by Power Saving enthusiasts to shut the intelligent boxes down, before our physical logging off from the office. I have also done all the last minute of works and my Manager seems happier. The day also started with one presentation of mine that went well ;) and somehow I feel that it is perfect eve before a long office break. Also, in the coming year I am going to join in one my dream companies.

Just before logging off I want to share a few tips with my followers about being Happy. You know, I have discovered that even Happiness is just like an elegantly written miraculous piece of code that does all amazing stuff for you. The Brain CPU with still-not-known Ghz speed runs this piece of code to collect all the garbages in form of sadness and trash them. So here it is:

#include"life.h"
Using namepace sense;

Void main()
{
While(! Feeling_fresh())
{
Take_Decent_Sleep();
}

Remember(“Life isn’t fair—but it still is good”);

Take_healthy_breakfast();
Take_a_walk();
Exercise(15 minutes);

If (you_like_working())
{
Clean(“House”);
Clean(“Your Desk”);
}

MakeTarget(“Bring smile on three faces”);
Do_Not_keep_yourself_Hungry();

Money x=new Money();
x.buy(“chocolates/energy drink”);
if !x.empty()
{x.buy(“clothes”);
Visit_places(x.left());
}

Take_Healthy_Lunch();
Think(“You are the best”);
Think(“Sometimes even you can be wrong”);
Act(“Ask forgiveness/Forgive someone”);

Do_not_insist_on_best();

CellPhone.talk(“friends/relatives”,30 minutes);
Television.Watch(30 minutes);
Take_Healthy_Dinner();

Wash_out_bad_feelings_Before_Sleep();
Remember(“You are correct- but God knows better”);
}

I have devised this algorithm after much thinking. And I shall try to follow this each day of my life. If anyone finds some extension or any bug please report it asap.

This New Year I am all set to change my marital status. I am bored of same "Single" tag on my FB and Orkut Ids. This year I wish I launch MeOnShow and have a great performing website portal. Also this year I plan to quit smoking to an absolute zero point. I plan to pray and I plan to be a dutiful, caring, and rich lover, son, husband, brother, friend and soul mate for everyone associated. I wish I could see happiness on face of *SO* always. Forgetting again, Wish you all a great happy New year. May this year brings joys to your lives. Keep rocking!!!

Merry XMas and Happy New year
