No to all in windows xp

When you drag the files from the source to the target directory, Windows XP alerts you that a file exists in the target location with the same filename as one you’re trying to copy. It also asks you whether it should replace the existing file or not, as shown.

If you were working in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Mac OS X, you could easily tell the operating system not to replace the duplicate file and to apply that action to all the other duplicates. Windows XP however, doesn’t give you a “No to All” or “Apply to All” option, just a “Yes to All”, which would replace all the duplicate files and isn’t the action we want.

Shift + No button

Luckily, there is a hidden solution. Hold down the Shift key when you click the No button. This will produce a “No to All” effect. Why Microsoft didn’t include a “No to All” or “Apply to All” option in Windows XP is beyond me, but at least this simple trick works.

Mouse wheel work wherever the mouse pointer is

WizMouse is a mouse enhancement utility that makes your mouse wheel work on the window currently under the mouse pointer, instead of the currently focused window. This means you no longer have to click on a window before being able to scroll it with the mouse wheel. This is a far more comfortable and practical way to make use of the mouse wheel.
WizMouse can also optionally enable the mouse wheel in applications that don’t support it. It does this by translating mouse wheel commands into scroll bar commands that all applications can understand and process.
It is free!!

versions of documents

Are you working on a document (or other file) and you did some changes that you regret?
Well, Document Management systems allow you to keep versions or history of changes so you can revert to a previous state. Very handy.
What you probably don’t know if that if you have Windows Vista Ultimate or Business this is integrated in the OS. Yes!
Go to your Windows File Explorer and right click on the document you are working on, for instance. Then you will see an option called “Restore previous versions”.
Voila!
Nice tip ;-)

Windows 7 free for one year

windows7

Microsoft is giving away Windows 7 free for a year with the launch of the Release Candidate. The ReleaseCandidate is now available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers, and will go on unlimited, general release on 5 May. The software will not expire until 1 June 2010, giving testers more than a year’s free access to Windows 7. “It’s available to as many people who see fit to use it, although we wouldn’t recommend it to just your average user,” John Curran, director of the Windows Client Group told PC Pro. “We’d very strongly encourage anyone on the beta to move to the Release Candidate.”
