I’m so glad I haven’t played around with the below two Windows Server Essentials versions: by default they break the DNS of your local network.

Every time I reboot my Nexus 4, the Google keyboard is selected as default. But SwitftKey is way more productive for me.
This is how to make SwiftKey the default keyboard again:
Selected SwiftKey then hit the Gear to go into SwiftKey setting. When I did this a pop up window came up asking witch keyboard to use a default. I selected SwiftKey and after several reboots it is still default.

Now that the Google Play Services 4.2 have been rolled out to enough Android devices, and the Google Play Services Library version 15 is out, this is my list of Play Services 4.2 versions I have seen in the wild:
Sorry, I didn’t note the build number for 4.2.34.
Anyone that can help complete this list?

Very interesting: Install AndroVM in VMware Player/Workstation – YouTube.
The successor is Genymotion “the faster Android emulator”, and seems to have an easier installation path: Run Android on Your Desktop With Genymotion Android Emulator.
One of the drawbacks of going native: the Delphi for Android compiler currently only generates ARM Android code, otherwise this would be a great way to test your apps.
But it works fine if you use Java, Oxygene for Java or MonoDroid: much faster than the emulator (which you cannot run in a VM at all).
There seems to be a way to install ARM translation, so I need to check that out: android – How to install google play service in the genymotion (ubuntu 13.04) .Currently it doesn’t have drag and drop suport – Stack Overflow.

Never noticed this file before until I got some trouble with several systems sharing parts of a roaming profile.
The content of my %USERPROFILE%\ntuser.ini file is this:
[General]
ExclusionList=AppData\Local;AppData\LocalLow;$Recycle.Bin;Tracing;PrivacIE
[ProfileLoadType]
LastUploadState=Complete
[[The ntuser.ini file is used to set up the user roaming profile components that are not copied to the server.]]
http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/windows/win2k/win2kusers.html
The ExclusionList is for excluding directories in roaming profiles.
The same info is also found here…
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
ExcludeProfileDirsSystem tool may not correctly display the user profile size in Windows

This reminds me about mapping the CapsLock to Windows-key on old Lenovo keyboard (you can do that [Wayback/Archive] with ReMapKey from Microsoft, the [Wayback/Archive] slightly more convoluted open source SharpKeys, or a AutoHotKey script), and a [Wayback] Mac equivalent:
MacOS:
I like to have a second Control key instead of Caps Lock.
In OS X, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys… and change or turn off Caps Lock, Control, Option and Command.
For more radical key remapping in OS X, use KeyRemap4MacBook. Despite the name, it works on non-Macbook machines, too.
…
ChromeBook:
If you miss having the Caps Lock button on your #Chromebook, you can turn the Search button into a Caps Lock button in a couple steps: find “Keyboard Settings” under the “Settings” menu, and select “Caps Lock” under the “Search” drop-down menu.
Or you can use this quick link on your Chromebook: chrome://settings/keyboard-overlay
Chromebook has [Wayback/Archive] quite some different keys than a Windows keyboard.
Ben Ostrowsky has a nice post with an SVG drawing of the [Wayback/Archive] Chromebook keyboard layout.

Thanks Raymond Chen for suggesting about [WayBack] COMPACT.EXE to set NTFS compression flags for files, directories or volumes:
The command-line tool for this is COMPACT.EXE. Type compact /? for usage information.
Example to recursively compress D:\backup:
compact /C /S /A D:\backup\*.*
