When doing a lot of remote desktop and VM work from a Mac to Windows machines, the Mission Control shortcuts (like Ctrl Up/Down) often get in the way.
Since I hardly use Mission Control anyway (I run VMs and remote machines to really cut dependencies: far stronger than multiple desktops), I just disabled all the Mission Control keyboard shortcuts you see here:

Interesting thread: Thinstuff Remote Application – NLDelphi.
Allows remote application access from Windows 7 / Vista / XP and Windows SBS, and it looks like you don’t need special CAL for it.

(note: part of this post is unfinished, but I wanted to make sure all the links are publicly accessible, so I posted earlier and incomplete)
I already did a few ESXi5 postings (they apply to 5.1 as well) of which the most important are:
Time to finish up some additional installation steps (with a big thanks to Matthijs ter Woord):

The NET SHARE does not support the/GRANT option in Windows XP and 2000.
An alternative is the RMTSHARE.EXE tool from the resource kit.
thinking.nerd explains how in Create Windows shares from command line using RMTSHARE.EXE ~ thinking.nerd.
Note I’ve had this fail on one or two machines with this message:
Account everyone is not found.
The command failed: 1788
There I used fsmgmt.msc to manually set the grants.

Sometimes I get messages like the below No Disk error on virtual machines, mainly in Windows XP and lower, but sometimes in more recent Windows versions too.
---------------------------
Windows - No Disk
---------------------------
Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c
---------------------------
Cancel Try Again Continue
---------------------------
The 0xc0000013 is a No Disk Exception.
Every time the solution has been to uninstall the floppy drive device from the VM image.
I never had it on physical hardware, but for that, disabling all unused removable and USB disk devices seem to work.
Somehow, lots of software thinks it should scan ALL media, even the removable ones that might not have media inserted.

Lucida Console Sample (thanks Wikimedia!)
I’m in search to see if there is a better programmers font than the monospaced Lucida Console mainly to be used in Visual Studio, Delphi, the Windows console, Xcode and Eclipse. What I love about Lucida Console design is the relatively large x-height combined with a small leading (often called “line height”). This combines very readable text, and a lot of code lines in view. Lucida has two small drawbacks, see the second image at the right:
But, since the font hasn’t been updated for a very long time, lots of Unicode code points that are now in current fonts, are missing from Lucida Console (unless you buy the [Wayback] most recent version that has 666 characters from Fonts.com) Well, there are dozens of monospaced fonts around, so I wonder: which ones do you like? In the mean while, I’m going to do some experimenting with fonts mentioned in these lists:
A few fonts I’m considering (I only want scalable fonts, so raster .fon files are out):
I have tried Adobe Source Code Pro about half a year ago. That didn’t cut it: problem with italics in Delphi, and not enough lines per screen. [Wayback] New Open Source monospaced font from Adobe: Source Code Pro.

This works for Windows XP and Windows Vista too:
Just tested out installing a few T1 fonts. There are two general rules for how to do this.
- Drag/drop both the PFM and PFB files (the INF and AFM files aren’t important nor needed) to C:\Windows\Fonts
- Open each font by clicking on the PFM and clicking the Install button at the top of the font preview window.
#2 is slower, but it works as well as any other with any font type that Windows 7 supports:
Note: If you drag/drop Type 1 fonts (PFB/PFM) to the Windows\Fonts folder, Windows 7 may complain when copying the PFB saying that it’s missing the PFM and that you should install using the PFM.
Either way – both methods work tho #2 is preferred when dealing with a T1 font.

Found a while ago that Brian Long wrote a few nice pages and posts on Windows keyboard shortcuts:

Associates a path with a drive letter and extends the standard SUBST command allowing to create persistent substituted drives between startups.
It is the “maintained” version of scripts like these:
