Companel – If you are using Windows 7 this may be an interesting util for you, it allow you to somewhat customize the “My Computer” view and add additional items to the default display. I do find this quite useful as I often start Windows File Explorer via “my computer”. And as with most good things […]
It is stated in; http://www.governmentattic.org/4docs/NSA_AmerCryptColdWarBk4_1999.pdf (around page 11 in the PDF) That the CIA in the 1980’s found an early version of what was basically a keylogger in US Typewriters (IBM Selectrics), it was suspected that these had been installed by KGB during their way through Russian or Polish customs, data collected from the typewriters was collected and […]
I just stumbled across this lately, it’s a piece of software you install that should insert itself as a driver between the keyboard and the OS and encrypt all keystrokes – the idea would be that it would foil keyloggers. An interesting concept, however I’m not fully convinced – I guess that I don’t fully understand […]
I am working on a script to create the directory structure for our new file servers, one of the steps is to create the shares which is easy enough; net share <snarename>=<path> /grant:<user>:FULL (for full access obviously, but as file rights are controlled by NTFS this is less important).

A consultant mentioned a rather cool trick to me some time ago, and I think it’s worth a mention here.

In a recent post (https://readmydamnblog.com/?p=1877) I mentioned Driver Magician Light the free version of Driver Magician, now it would seem I managed to find yet another product that does the same completely for free (and this not as a limited light version).. Double Driver (odd name, but hey..) Get it here; http://www.boozet.org/dd.htm An older review here […]
This is, as with many of my other posts, mainly a reminder to myself to remember something cool I once stumbled across. More than once I have had to search high and low to remember this site, it is cool but not something you need every day. This site offers many different server, user and other management […]
I just stumbled across this nice little free util, it’s sort of a taskmanager for your Hyper-V server.. Cool it’s free, however I’m slightly sceptical when it comes to the performance it reports – I feel my server should be under a more heavy load – but hey I’ll give it a spin and see how […]
I have been trying to recall the name of this little addon to Outlook for ages now, a few of my friends really need this to keep a valid backup of their Outlook PST file.. Fianlly I rediscovered it.. The problem is that some use online backup services, and once they start windows they launch […]
