Solution: Can’t paste on a web-site with Ctrl-V

Posted by jpluimers on 2010/07/16

Quite a few web sites have fields where you cannot paste with Ctrl-V.
I don’t know why: pasting text input is a great way to speed up your work.

A solution for most of them: Read the rest of this entry »

Telnet for Windows Vista & Windows 7

Posted by jpluimers on 2010/05/20

I wrote about Telnet for Windows Vista & Windows 7.

These steps are even easier:

  1. Press the Windows key
  2. type “turn windows features on or off”
  3. choose “Telnet Client”
  4. press OK
  5. wait a few seconds for the install to complete

Windows 7/Vista: How to access Administrative Shares (C$, IPC$, …) via PaulSpoerry.com

Posted by jpluimers on 2010/05/13

A while after installing a new copy of Vista or Windows 7, I usually want to be able to access the administrative shares (like C$, Admin$, IPC$, etc).

On Windows 7 and Vista, those are by default not enabled.

To enable them, import this enable-windows-7-vista-server-2008-administrative-shares.reg file into the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy"=dword:00000001

You need to reboot your system once after this registry change.

Or from a batch file as Administrator:

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Later I name the files like this:

enable.windows-vista-and-up.administrative-shares.bat
enable.windows-vista-and-up.administrative-shares.reg

Windows 7 has lots of ‘GodModes’ (exclusive) | Beyond Binary – CNET News

Posted by jpluimers on 2010/01/14

Some more GodModes in Windows 7.
Note that some might work in Vista too, but note that Vista-64 users have problems with the original ‘GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}‘ folder name (in fact any name before the dot will work: ‘Thor.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}‘ is fine too.

You can also run ‘explorer shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}‘ from the command-line or from a batch file (like thor.bat).
