More than 4 years ago, I wrote about the Windows filename search replacement: Everything. Since then, Everything has even gotten better: though the “stable” 1.2 version dates back to 2009, a new series of 1.3.x betas has appeared since early 2013 that are just as stable, are faster and have far more features.
Some new features I like a lot:

Figured using Instant Online Crash Analysis that mfefirek.sys is causing a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD.
Well done McAfee!
This is what I did:
The result for all *.dmp files is a pattern like this:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1) An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses. If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace. Arguments: Arg1: 000000000000000d, memory referenced Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL Arg3: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation Arg4: fffff8800....d70, address which referenced memory Debugging Details: ------------------ TRIAGER: Could not open triage file : e:\dump_analysis\program\triage\modclass.ini, error 2 READ_ADDRESS: GetPointerFromAddress: unable to read from fffff800032..100 GetUlongFromAddress: unable to read from fffff800032..1c0 000000000000000d Nonpaged pool CURRENT_IRQL: 2 FAULTING_IP: mfefirek+19d70 fffff880`0.....70 8a400d mov al,byte ptr [rax+0Dh]

Thanks Shay Erlichmen for answering this on SO why the Beep function does not bell the speaker any more on x64 systems:
Beep has been removed as a native function from all x64 platforms (so no managed version of course), there is a connect issue that petition to return it.
We use a different trick to discover servers, we remote eject the dvd drive, and the drive with the tray open is the one were looking for :)
Larry Osterman has a great article about this: What’s up with the beep driver in Windows 7.
In the mean time, the connect issue has been removed as well.
The good news however (if your hardware still has an Intel 8254 compatible PIT in the South Bridge connected to a PC speaker):
Ludwig Ertl wrote the BEEPx / BeepXP driver that interfaces to the speaker through the 8254. Note it has a (German) changelog, but you can respond in English.

Thanks Brett Wilton for sharing this.
This would have saved me quite some time, as I re-did the phone registration two weeks ago in order to get a few development VMs working again.

I had some excessive CPU usage (30% on a 4-core system) inside WheaAttemptPhysicalPageOffline when using an Intel HD graphics 2500 GPU.
At first I thought I needed to convince IT to update the drivers: Intel HD graphics causing high CPU utilization | Intel Communities.
Then I closed all Visual Studio 2013 instances and the CPU usage went to normal.
So I’m suspecting a WPF issue somewhere.

Cool, I just found out that Wikipedia has a Screenshot topic, listing how to take screenshots (and often shots of the current window) on many platforms, where (*) means I verified them:

The dig (domain information groper) command under unix/Linux is a great way to help verify that a DNS host like BIND is working properly.
A few of my servers are Linux, but most of my desktops usually are Windows, so I was happy to find the Using the dig dns tool on Windows 7 article by Dan Esparza explaining there is a Windows version.
So I:

While researching the manifest problem I will post about next week, I made a short list of free Windows Resource Editors:
All other resource editors I found were not free, and someof them not maintained for an even longer period than the free ones.
