REGCLEANER - A PROPER REGISTRY CLEANER |
While RegCleaner isn't the only registry cleaner around, this is one of the more trustworthy versions. You don't need to be an expert to use this program. It shows you the list of registered software in the registry, you just toggle checkboxes to indicate which software you no longer have installed and RegCleaner removes all the registry entries created by those programs for you.
Runs on Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000 - completely free.
See http://www.c2000.com/software for more information
GETTING WORDS BULLETS AND NUMBERS FORMATTED PROPERLY |
There's your nice and neat numbered paragraphs, but one of the numbers is in italics? But you can't select it to fix it - what’s going on?
The answer is simple, the bullets and numbers take their formatting from the paragraph marker. Just select the paragraph marker (at the end of the current line) and apply your formatting.
You can use the same trick to add formats to numbers as well if you want to.

LOOKING FOR DEAD SHORTCUTS |
You know that feeling, you've had so many programs added and then removed from your system and you keep finding shortcuts from old programs that no longer lead anywhere.
The Windows 2000 resource kit supplies CHKLNKS.EXE. This utility checks all your systems shortcuts and gives you the option of deleting one or all of the dead links.
Apparently (though I've not tried it) this utility also works fine on NT4 with no obvious problems

VIEWING THE NT EVENT LOG FROM THE COMMAND LINE |
For a number of reasons, usually revolving around some program you are writing you need to get at the event log from a command line. On the Windows NT Resource Kit is a utility called DUMPEL.EXE which outputs comma or tab separated files. See http://www.c2000.com/mswindow for more information
Flash isn't obvious about, but you can freely skew and stretch objects. Skewing is used to take a square and make it into a trapezoid (imagine a cube in 3D - the sides are trapezoid).
A client reported the other day that they ran a link checker on their web site and got a lot of broken links around cgi-bin. Cgi-bin is the folder which contains server side scripts, so it is entirely normal to get cgi-bin errors when running a link check.
Three really old favourites, but so useful when doing any kind of cut and paste (and I use them probably more than any other shortcut). See http://www.c2000.com/mswindow for more information

Dumpel -f {OUTPUT-FILE} [ -l {WHICH LOG FILE} ] -c
The "-f" specifies the output file name
The "-l" (ell) can be used to specify system, application or security - without it you get all three
The "-c" is used from comma separation, "-t" gives you tabs.
You can use "-e
SKEW AN OBJECT IN FLASH
To skew an object, first select the object, then choose Modify, Transform, Rotate from the main menu. Rotate handles appear at the corners and sides of your object.
If you grab the corner handles, you can rotate, if you grab the side handles you can skew the object.
The Scale command can be used to stretch objects. Just as with the Rotate command, select an object, choose Modify, Transform, Scale, grab one of the side handles, and then pull.
LINK CHECKING GIVES LOTS OF CGI-BIN ERRORS
Making sense of link checking against scripts
However, other errors not on cgi-bin are a true sign of broken links and you need to chase these down.
CLIPBOARD SHORTCUTS
Ctrl-C Copy to clipboard
Ctrl-X Cut to clipboard
Ctrl-V Paste from clipboard
And, by the way, you can use these in My Computer to move files around as well.

Don't anthropomorphize computers.
They hate that.
