The upside of findstr is that it is included with Windows since a long time (at least since Windows XP, later: indeed since Windows ME) and supports a form of regex.
But often it drives you crazy.
When it does, read What are the undocumented features and limitations of the Windows FINDSTR command? – Stack Overflow.

Brilliant piece of open source:
SmallestDotNet – SmallestDotNet.com is a single page site that does one thing. It tells you the smallest, easiest download you’d need to get the .NET Framework on your system.
Even on Mac OS X it is helpful and recommends Mono and on iOS it recommends looking at MonoTouch.
Thanks Scott Hanselman for making this available!

When you have multiple network connections, sometimes you want to prefer one to be used as “default” (i.e. because it has higher speed or lower latency).
Windows already tries to accommodate for that by assigning “metrics” to your network connections. They depend on the kind of network (wired over wireless) and speed of the connection.
To see the current default network routes and their metrics, you use the route print command and filter it with findstr like this:
route print | findstr /C:"Metric" /C:" 0.0.0.0"
The “0.0.0.0” string is to filter out the default routes, and “Metric” includes the header line.
For one of my XP machines, the result is this:
| Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric | |
| 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.71.1 192.168.71.28 10 | |
| 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.171.1 192.168.171.140 10 |
Now, even though both metric are 10, my 192.168.71.1 gateway is much slower than my 192.168.171.1 gateway, so I want to prefer the last one. Read the rest of this entry »

Gosh I hate it when on a Windows machine your printer list is like a 100 when visiting a couple of clients and friends.
Disable this seems easy How to disable automatic search for network printers and folders in Windows XP, but note there is no “Advanced” button so better follow the steps at Windows XP – How do I Disable the auto Network Printer Ins.. – Network Printer – Windows XP.
Now lets find out how to do that in Windows versions beyond XP (:

I had to move a bunch of stuff from an old ESXI 4.1 server to a newer ESXi 5.1 server.
For that I used a Windows XP VM on the new ESXI 5.1 server that had two different 1 gigabit network connections so it could run full speed.
Speed comparison for 60 gigabytes of VMs:
I used both settings for both tools: Read the rest of this entry »

If your downloaded WinSCP install ever throws this error, and you cannot find the cause on the WinSCP forums, then this is probably the reason:
The caption of the error message should be enough: Windows thinks it is a 16-bit MS-DOS program, not a Windows installer.
This means that the install download went wrong. In my case, I downloaded it through this wget command:
wget -m -np http://winscp.net/download/winscp552setup.exe
At first I thought that WinSCP has a referrer check, so this is the command that would work (similar to wget direct download with referer: SpeedFan):
wget -m -np --referer=http://winscp.net/eng/download.php http://winscp.net/download/winscp552setup.exe

Just in case you need to stay with XP for a while (for instance because you have hardware where the vendor still has no drivers for more modern Windows versions), you might want to block KB2934207 A notification about the end of Windows XP support.
As of March 5th, this “high priority” KB2934207 update installs a notification screen remembering Windows XP will be End of Support at 20140408 (about 2 weeks from now).
If you do keep Windows XP, then make sure you have good protection for it (even watch that closer than you would on more current systems).

Interesting: HotspotShield VPN to surf from a USA IP address.
There is a free version with ads, and a payed version without ads.
Probably more services like this exist, but this has been working for me.
Yup there are:

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
