Windows 7 Tip: Superbar Shortcuts
January 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Windows
Shift+Click a superbar button to launch a new instance of that program (even if one is already open). Ctrl+Shift+Click to launch a new instance as administrator. Great for Command Prompt or a Task Manager replacement. That is all.

August 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Windows
Well I messed around a bit and came up with a rather nice solution. This emulates a feature of Linux’s gnome-terminal where you can set the titlebar to always reflect the terminal’s current directory.

January 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Windows
Well I should probably start blogging again.
