Did you know that you can copy files from:
- a remote computer to your local computer or
- a remote computer to another remote computer
using Remote Desktop (Windows XP or higher) by simple right-clicking the file and selecting Copy and then selecting Paste on your local machine/the other remote computer?
From the Microsoft KB article 300698:

You can copy and paste the files between the remote session and local computer, or vice-versa, by using the Copy and Paste feature.

If you update your version of Nokia Software Updater the most recent version quits working by displaying this message:
"Sorry, Microsoft Windows Vista is currently not supported."
One could think that large companies like Nokia would be able to support the Windows Vista operating system since it's around for over a year now.
You might think that that operating systems that will certainly become the industry-wide standard and are on the market for way over a year now are supported by all major products.

If you experience the error message:
The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine
this is caused by the Jet provider not being available in native 64-bit.
You will have to target x86 with your .NET apps to make it work.
Since EPSON Status Monitor does not work properly under Windows Vista I recommend extracting the installation files and simulate an old operating system (Windows XP SP2) by using the compatibility tab for all EXE files in the folder.
Then install and enjoy!
P.S. You can force a cartridge change on a EPSON Stylus Color printer even without using the EPSON Status Monitor software. Read here.
Prerequisites:
Situation:
- After "optimizing" the VM the file grows (in my case from 13 GB to 100 GB, which is the maximum size of the dynamic disk)
Workaround:
- Create a full clone of your VM (this copies all the linked disks + your VM into a target disk). You are not using the base disks from that moment on. But the resulting VM will be nice and small and in the future you can use PerfectDisk again to optimize and shrink your VM.
Background:
- VMs with linked disks are not available for SHRINK operations.
- WIthout linked disks this works perfectly.
Situation:
- You have a linked clone.
- You do not have any snapshots, just the current state.
- You want to create a full clone out of the base image(s) and the current state using the VMware Wizard.
- You get the error message that you need (3.5 GB) of free hard drive space.
- Freeing space on the source and target drive does not seem to help.
Solution
- Just create a snapshop and re-try the full-clone-creation.

You need to open the item "View 32-bit Control Panel Items". And there it is. :)

... and even resetting the normal.dot won't help you there.
But it's soo simple. A double click between the border between your document and the rulers will display them. Read the full story here.
You need to make a registry change to make it work.
