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:
- Press the Windows key
- type “turn windows features on or off”
- choose “Telnet Client”
- press OK
- 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

5 Alternatives to Keeping a Fax Machine
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/01/14
Like Thursday Bram, I can’t remember the last time I sent a FAX.
I still have a FAX: it is a multifunctional HP Color LaserJet 2840.
It was one of my biggest mistakes, see at the end of this blog article why.
Back to faxing: unlike Thursday, I live in The Netherlands, so I’ll explain how my FAX stuff works. Read the rest of this entry »

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).
