Disk Perf
Hardware, posted: 29-Nov-2009 03:21
SSDs are moving more towards mainstream as their price point comes down and their size increases.
I've been keen on the technology from it's inception, but as yet, haven't laid out the cash.
Other people I know have and I'm posting these shots of their disk performance.
These are from non-lab-condition tests, so it's a range of OS, and I can't vouch for what was running in the background.

Error 0x800705AA while network copying
Operating System, posted: 19-Aug-2009 00:45
So I got this error the other night. I wondered why at first?
Plenty of room on my target machine's disk, 8GB of RAM, quad core proc, the works.
Then I remembered I'd been playing with the shares permissions.
So I INCREASED the number of simultaneous users and the error went away....

PowerShell, scripts and spaces in paths

Easy. Just need to remember this one for next time
c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe "& 'c:\my dir with spaces\pstest.ps1' 'arg' 'arg' 'arg' "
Remember to open/close with double quote and use single quotes.

Vista offers Advanced Firewall
Operating System, posted: 12-Jun-2007 14:34
With Windows XP, Service Pack 2, came the Windows Firewall. A pretty basic software firewall, but good enough for a simple end user who does a little bit of email and web browsing.

Windows shortcut keys
Operating System, posted: 31-May-2007 17:43
I'm a big fan of shortcut key combinations, they save you time and make it appear as though you look like you know what you're doing ;-) Anyway, here's a few of my favourites
Windows Key (W) Shortcuts
W = Start Menu, use arrow keys and enter to navigate, Esc to close
Ctrl + Esc = W
W + [1 - 0] = Open corresponding number in quick launch icons, if first icon is IE, then IE opens
W + D = Show Desktop
W + E = Windows Explorer
W + F = Find someth (read the entire post)...
