How to control Windows 7 snap feature with two monitors
How to control Windows 7 snap feature with two monitors?
There is the Snap feature in Windows 7. But it seems to not work when dragging window to the edge that are adjoin to the second monitor. How to make it working? May be some regedit cheat or something?

You should use only shortcuts for that configuration
(mouse movements alone seems not supported for that special side that crosses over to the other monitor)
NOTE: On multiple monitors, continually pressing a keyboard shortcut combination below will cause the window to snap to the side and scroll in that direction through the multiple monitor screens.
Windows Key + Left Arrow Key
This will snap the current window to the left side of the screen, or unsnap a window that is snapped to the right side of the screen.
Windows Key + Right Arrow Key
This will snap the current window to the right side of the screen, or unsnap a window that is snapped to the left side of the screen.

It might be worth it to point out the Windows+Shift+[Left/Right] combination. This will keep the position on your monitor while switching the window between monitors. – Ryan Versaw Jul 15 at 13:34

A few Visual Studio tips
(Note that you might have to delete the assignment if it is already assigned to something else. “Alt+Right arrow” was already assigned to the View.Forward command in my case.)

a) Editor Gadgets - Line ruler - Places a "ruler" highlight across your current line (where the cursor is) and has tick marks to indicate the editor's indentation levels. Indentation guide - Draws a vertical bar in the editor indicating the indentation level of the current line. Auto-copy selection - Automatically copies text to the clipboard when selected with the mouse. Paste may be done by simply clicking in the editor with the middle mouse button (the scroll wheel on most mice). These behaviors are similar to XMouse.
Editor Graphic - Allows you to place a graphic inside your editor, either as a single image or as a tiled background.
b) The Command Spy - allows you to see exactly what commands you've run, how many times you've run them and what key bindings are used to invoke those commands. The main purpose of this tool is to allow you to learn what commands are bound to which keystrokes, so that you can work faster within the IDE.
c) File Explorer -provides an easy way to open solutions, projects, or single files in Visual Studio. It also makes it easy to drag-and-drop files into an open Visual Studio project.
d) The Data Object Analyzer
e) The SLOC Report - count lines of code, etc

RC Forums: Xbox 360 IR Remote configuration file (Page 3 of 3)
The codes from this forum page didn't work for me but I was able to enter the codes supplied in an excel spreadsheet (from or about the same page as above or here) into my pronto and they worked for devices that accept windows media center remote codes (xbox 360, etc). I've also saved this excel file myself.
In blogger, can I move posts to another blog all at once? - Yahoo! Answers
Yep. It can be done. I needed to do this myself today and stumbled on both your question and the solution. Here's how:
1. Go to draft.blogger.com. It's a new blog editor the Blogger folks are preparing. Not many people know about it yet, but now you're one of them. (see the url I provided below for details about it.)
2. Go to the dashboard and select the settings link for the blog you want to export from.
3. Select export to save an "xml" file with all your post info.
4. Go back to the dashboard and select the blog you want to import to.
5. Select the settings link for that blog.
6. Import the blog.
7. If you choose to automatically publish everything, you should be all set. If you don't select to publish everything you can edit the list of posts at the new blog and publish what you want.
You can choose to use the "draft" editor as your default editor, which is what I did, or you can just use it for the import/export and go back to the normal blogger.com site as before.I have used the import and export feature and it works.

30 people say this answers the question:
Hey - I have just done this.
As long as you have been permissioned to view the second calendar, and you are already synced for your own calendar - then all you need to do is go to http://m.google.com/sync on Safari on the iphone- then sign in - and there is an option to add the additional calendar."

Media Center add-in: Postion Changer (vista) by Stephen Toub
This add-in lets you move (relative or absolute) to a location in a recorded video:
from http://blogs.msdn.com/toub/archive/2007/01/03/position-changer-add-in-updated-for-windows-vista.aspx:
"using the add-in is pretty straightforward. While viewing or listening to media, press the right arrow on the remote or keyboard. Then enter the time you want to jump to (123 for 1 minute 23 seconds, 1053 for 10 minutes 53 seconds, etc.) and press enter. Pressing the left arrow instead of the right arrow makes the jumps relative instead of absolute."
Instructions for installation:
1.Copy the contents of the debug folder to \Program Files\MCE\Position Changer Add-In 2.Open a command window with administrative privliges 3.cd \windows\ehome 4.fsutil hardlink create PositionChangerAddIn.dll "\Program Files\MCE\Position Changer Add-In\PositionChangerAddIn.dll" 5.cd "\Program Files\MCE\Position Changer Add-In" 6."\windows\ehome\RegisterMCEApp.exe" /allusers "PositionChangerAddInReg.xml" 7.Restart all of your Media Center Sessions... I can't take credit for this ... http://unmitigatedrisk.com/archive/2007/03/17/38.aspx cna however. And I can confirm it works :D Great little plugin :)

If you get this error when synchronizing your windows mobile device to outlook 2007 on your computer,
Run fixmapi.exe in \windows\system32. You might need to make sure activesync and outlook are closed and your device is not connected before running fixmapi.exe.
